Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after birth should postnatal care begin?

Postnatal care ideally begins within 24-48 hours after returning home from the hospital. Early support is crucial for establishing breastfeeding, monitoring initial recovery, and addressing any immediate concerns for mother or baby. Many providers offer flexible scheduling based on your specific situation.

What does a typical postnatal visit include?

A typical visit includes maternal health assessment (checking healing, vital signs, emotional wellbeing), baby health check (weight, feeding, jaundice, umbilical cord), breastfeeding support, baby care demonstrations, and answering questions about recovery and newborn care. Services are tailored to each family's needs.

How long is postnatal care typically recommended?

Postnatal care is typically recommended for the first 4-6 weeks postpartum, with more frequent visits in the first two weeks. The duration and frequency can be adjusted based on individual needs, especially for first-time mothers or those with multiples or complications. Providers can help determine an appropriate schedule.
