🔹 What is Postpartum Care?
Postpartum care focuses on a mother’s physical, emotional, and mental recovery after delivery. This includes managing pain, hormonal shifts, fatigue, emotional changes, and more.
🔹 Why is it essential?
- Physical recovery: Childbirth, whether vaginal or C-section, takes a toll on the body. Proper care ensures healing of wounds, uterus, and overall strength.
- Mental health support: Postpartum depression and anxiety are real and affect 1 in 7 mothers. Timely care and support can prevent long-term trauma.
- Hormonal balance: Hormones shift drastically after birth. Supporting the body with proper nutrition, rest, and therapies can ease the transition.
- Better parenting: A well-supported, healthy mother is better equipped to care for her newborn with love, patience, and clarity.
🔹 Traditional wisdom + Modern care
Ayurveda, naturopathy, and modern medicine all emphasize the importance of rest, warm nourishment, body therapies, and emotional bonding after delivery.
🕊️ The postpartum phase isn’t just recovery—it’s rebirth for the mother too. Let’s stop overlooking this crucial time.
💛 Prioritize postpartum care. Because when a mother heals, a whole family thrives.
