The Postnatal Support Network is inviting visionaries of birth and experts on the postpartum period to participate in the 1st Online Research Summit: Postnatal Health & Happiness.

The Summit is guided by the following research question: “How is care and rest during the postpartum period crucial for the immediate and long-term well-being of mother, child, family unit and the society at large? “

A few months back, at the Postnatal Support Network, we launched a research project to explore what is written (in medical, anthropological, social science literature as well as in classical texts on Ayurveda) about the postpartum period of the first 40 days. We aim to publish a review article by end of February 2021 and move on to a second stage of the research where we gather our own data through interviews with mothers, families, doulas, midwives, femme-sages, doctors.  The Online Research Summit will present our current findings and also serve as an important source in the sharing and co-creation of knowledge to be included in the research.

Registration for the summit is NOT open yet. Please stay tuned for details.
