  1. Since the moment of postpartum, mothers had to be provided with special care. This includes eating nourishing meals that will later aid them in the breastfeeding process. Furthermore, having someone who is always willing to be hands-on with their necessities is essential. Otherwise, mothers might find themselves in a daze and fall apart due to the burden that comes with giving birth.

  2. During my postpartum I was absolutely thrilled to beats because I gave birth to my little boy! Oh gosh, I had been carrying him for so long that after a childbirth I wasn't in a daze but my body fell apart after it and I just needed to take some rest. But it was a dream! in reality, I had to be with my baby who was in an exclamation since I gave a birth him. So his life started from cry and wild shout:)
