How Cultures Protect the New Mother

August 15, 2017 By Elizabeth

“As citizens of an industrialized nation, we often act as if we have nothing to learn from low-income, developing countries. Yet many of these cultures are doing something extraordinarily right—especially in how they care for new mothers. In their classic paper, Stern and Kruckman (1983) present an anthropological critique of the literature. They found that in the cultures they studied, postpartum disorders, including the “baby blues,” were virtually nonexistent. By contrast, 50% to 85% of new mothers in industrialized nations experience the “baby blues,” and 15% to 25% (or more) experience postpartum depression.”

Authentic Care

"Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the trials because of the joy that a child has been born into the world." (John 16:21)
