Mother and baby care

Postnatal care

A gentle beginning for the mother and baby.

Postnatal care is an important part of a mother's recovery after childbirth. It supports physical recovery, nutrition, rest, breastfeeding, emotional wellbeing and newborn care. Ayursarga connects mothers and families with suitable Ayurvedic postnatal care options, helping them discover, compare and choose services that meet their individual needs.
Understanding postnatal care

A gentle beginning for the mother and baby

The postnatal period is an important phase of a woman's journey. After pregnancy and childbirth, the mother's body and mind go through significant changes while she adapts to the demands of caring for her newborn.

Postnatal care focuses on supporting the mother's recovery, nutrition, rest, emotional wellbeing and overall wellness, while also supporting healthy newborn care and breastfeeding.

At Ayursarga, we believe that caring for the mother after childbirth is just as important as caring for the baby.

Care with purpose

Why is postnatal care important?

01

Supports recovery after childbirth

Pregnancy and childbirth place considerable physical demands on the body. Appropriate postnatal care can support the mother’s gradual recovery and help her adapt to the changes following delivery.

02

Supports nutrition

Adequate nutrition and hydration are important during postpartum recovery, particularly for mothers who are breastfeeding. Individual dietary needs may vary depending on the mother’s health and medical requirements.

03

Encourages adequate rest

New mothers often experience interrupted sleep and physical fatigue. A supportive postnatal environment can help mothers get adequate rest and recover gradually.

04

Supports breastfeeding

Postnatal support can help mothers with breastfeeding education, positioning, attachment and common breastfeeding concerns. Professional lactation support can be especially helpful when difficulties arise.

05

Supports emotional wellbeing

The postpartum period can bring significant emotional and lifestyle changes. A supportive family and care environment can help mothers feel more comfortable and confident during this transition.

Persistent sadness, severe anxiety, confusion, thoughts of self-harm or thoughts of harming the baby require prompt professional medical attention.

06

Supports mother–baby bonding

Postnatal care provides an opportunity for mothers and babies to spend time together in a comfortable and supportive environment while the mother learns to understand and respond to her baby’s needs.

07

Encourages a gradual return to activity

Postpartum activity should be introduced gradually according to the mother’s recovery, type of delivery and medical advice. Appropriate movement, breathing practices and gentle exercises may be incorporated when suitable.

08

Provides guidance for newborn care

New parents may need guidance regarding:

  • Baby hygiene
  • Feeding
  • Sleep
  • Cord care
