Are mother and baby kept together after birth in Japan?

This article examines postpartum care practices in Japan, both traditional and modern. Traditional practices included "matsugo" or "month-long confinement," which was believed to be beneficial for mother and baby's health.

Benefits of keeping mother and baby together after birth include increased bonding, improved breastfeeding outcomes, reduced maternal stress levels, and an easier transition back home; however, there are potential challenges such as risk of infection, difficulty sleeping, a stressful environment, and emotional exhaustion.
