Postnatal care, also known as postpartum care, is the medical and emotional care provided to a mother and her newborn baby following childbirth. This period, often referred to as the postpartum period, typically begins immediately after the baby is born and extends for the first six weeks after childbirth. However, it can also include care and support that continues for several months.

                        The specific components of postnatal care can vary from one healthcare system to another and may be tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of the mother and baby. It is essential for new mothers to attend their postnatal check-ups and seek support when needed to ensure a healthy and smooth transition into motherhood and the well-being of their newborn.
