Mother & Newborn Care at Home in Delhi NCR
The weeks after a delivery are the point at which most new parents are least equipped and most exhausted. A mother recovering from a caesarean or a difficult labour is expected to feed every two hours, manage her own healing and learn newborn care simultaneously, usually on broken sleep. Traditionally this was absorbed by an extended family that many households no longer have nearby. Our postnatal attendants — the role often called a japa maid — fill that gap: newborn bathing and cord care, feeding and latching support, help with the mother's own recovery and wound care after a caesarean, and enough night cover that she can actually sleep. Attendants are trained in newborn handling and hygiene and are verified before deployment, which matters more here than almost anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a japa maid and is this the same service?
Japa is the traditional term for postnatal care support for a mother and newborn. Yes, this is the same role, provided by trained and background-verified attendants at a published price rather than through informal arrangements.
How long do families usually book postnatal care for?
Most book for the first four to twelve weeks. Some start with 24-hour cover for the first fortnight and step down to 12-hour day shifts as the mother recovers and a routine establishes.
Can the attendant handle night feeds?
Yes — this is one of the most valuable parts of the service. On a 24-hour shift the attendant handles night settling and feeding support so the mother can get consecutive hours of sleep.
Are attendants trained specifically in newborn care?
Yes. Newborn handling, bathing, cord care and hygiene protocols are covered in training before any attendant is assigned to a mother-and-baby booking.
Can the attendant support the mother's own recovery too?
Yes. Caesarean wound care, mobility support, nutrition and general postnatal recovery are part of the role. For clinical needs such as prescribed injections, book an MQA rather than a GDA.
