Question about Japan

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. Modern practices allow mothers to keep their infants with them throughout their hospital stay following delivery, promoting bonding between mother and child as well as helping with breastfeeding success rates due to increased skin-to-skin contact. 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. Ultimately the decision should be based on individual circumstances.
