The mother is the most precious possession of the nation, so precious that society advances its highest well-being when it protects the functions of the mother" Ellen Key, 1914 Swedish author.
When Mommy is happy, baby is happy. Baby senses at a deep level the state of mother's well-being and responds accordingly.
There is a great gap in the care offered to new mothers in our society.
The cruel facts of life show that about 80 % of new mothers experience the 'baby blues'. And about 15 % suffer from Postpartum Depression. 'What is there to be depresseb about' some men ask. Frequently a woman is exhausted aterf long hours of delivery, nine months of pregnancy and all the new challenges of motherhood. Being on call 24/7, never getting a full night's sleep, being up wih the baby nights, feeding or changing the baby, loads of laundry, cooking, cleaning, visitors, no time to rest. Simpley overwhelmed, fatigued, feeling incapbale as a mother, isolated and lonely - and getting depressed.
This should be the happiest time in a woman's life. Something is needed here. A well-structured, comprehensive care plan for new mothers. The Mother and Baby program - specifically designed to aid mothers in rapif rejuvenation after childbirth.
