In the United States, upon discharge, mothers are on their own, with little support beyond their immediate families and communities. New mothers are expected to know how to take care of a newborn’s every need—from lactogenesis to burping, swaddling and rocking—all in a fevered state of sleep-deprivation. Along with the relentless caretaking demands of early motherhood, womxn are navigating overwhelming hormonal changes; adjusting to an evolving identity; and recovering from the physical and psychological trauma of pregnancy and childbirth.
