The first six weeks of childbirth after the delivery are exactly what we term the “postpartum period. Even though the time is extremely joyful, it still comes with a period of adjustment and healing for the mother, both physically and mentally. Postpartum care also depends on the type of delivery you have had. If you have had a vaginal delivery, the care is basic, but if you have had a c-section, the care is different and needs time for recovery.

There is so much information and advice about pregnancy on the internet, but when it comes to information or guides about postpartum care, we always fall short. In order to help all the new mothers out there, we are sharing some tips that can help you cover your postpartum period easily.
