The postpartum period refers to the time immediately following childbirth, typically lasting about six weeks. This period is characterized by significant physical and emotional changes as the mother's body begins to recover from pregnancy and childbirth. Research in this area focuses on understanding the physical and psychological health of mothers during this time, as well as the impact of the postpartum period on infant development and family dynamics. Studies may examine issues such as postpartum depression, breastfeeding challenges, sleep patterns, and the mother's overall adjustment to her new role. The goal of research in this area is to improve support and care for mothers during this critical period of transition.
