Early Postpartum Support in the Home: A Vital Link to Healthy and Safe Postpartum Recovery in the United States.
Journal of Perinatal Education 2023 November 1
Many newly postpartum women and birthing people are sent home from the hospital with their newborn babies, ill-prepared to care for themselves with little to no capacity to learn about newborn care and parenting.
