To regain the health after delivery of baby, minimum 45 days care is necessary to revert the anatomical and physiological changes of female genital system to its normal state.

So perinatal and postnatal care for both mother and baby is a major task for Indian Medical System. Ancient Ayurvedic literature has emphasized the care of mother and child. Kashyap Samhita has given prime importance to the post partum diseases and care of newborn babies.
