The correct answer is the "postpartum period". This is a time of adjustment and recovery for both the mother and the baby after childbirth. During these first six weeks, the mother's body undergoes various changes and transitions back to her pre-pregnancy state, both physically and hormonally. Additionally, the baby adapts to life outside the womb, getting used to feeding, sleeping patterns, and bonding with the mother. It is an important period that requires special care and attention for the well-being of both the mother and the baby.
The correct answer is postpartum period.
