Postpartum Care in Japan: The First Months for Mum, Baby & Family
What happens after you leave the hospital with your newborn in Japan?
In this episode, I’m looking at the first months postpartum from three perspectives: Mum, Baby and Family.
Using Yokohama as an example, we’ll talk about postpartum and baby health checks, home visits, vaccinations, and the support available for new families — from professional Mother & Baby Care to practical help at home.
Because one thing I learned while researching this episode is that there is actually a lot of support available. You just need to know where to find it.
Please keep in mind that services and procedures vary between cities and wards.
