Introduction
It is common for expecting mothers to receive plenty of care, advice, and support before they have their babies. Once the baby is born, however, there are far fewer resources to rely on.
Globally, it seems that proper postpartum support – whether it's breastfeeding advice or tips on how mothers can care for themselves – is sorely lacking.
In this November 2023 episode of BBC's The Food Chain podcast, host Ruth Alexander talks to guests from around the world to discuss postpartum nutrition and cultural norms surrounding the food and support new mothers receive.
Guests include Chinese-American author Heng Ou, cultural anthropologist Mengqui Wang, and Allison Oman Lawi, Deputy Director of Nutrition at the UN World Food Programme.
