Bonjour Parenthood prioritizes the well-being of families by placing postnatal care at the core of family planning
Postpartum or the period that follows childbirth, is conventionally acknowledged to last six weeks according to medical definition.
However, an increasing number of experts challenge this definition, asserting that this stage actually extends longer and is unique to each woman. This idea has already gained momentum in Europe.
Bonjour Parenthood aligns with this perspective and strives to provide support to women and their families throughout the entire first year after birth.
