postnatal support
New-parent caregiving
Postnatal support is assistance provided to mothers (and sometimes fathers) after childbirth.
This includes medical care, emotional guidance, help with breastfeeding, and practical aid with newborn care.
The term covers professional services like midwife visits and lactation consultants, as well as informal help from family and community: She relied on her mother for postnatal support during those first exhausting weeks.
