Postpartum care services at a central Tokyo hotel aimed at supporting women after childbirth are gaining popularity. | AsiaNewsNetwork
“Mamma Levata” is a round-the-clock service staffed by a total of 30 nurses and caregivers who bathe the babies and change their diapers. Mothers are free to sleep in another room, go shopping or visit a beauty salon during this time. The moms can also be taught how to improve their breastfeeding technique.
Yoko Yamada, 31, of Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture, who stayed at the hotel with her newborn son and 22-month-old daughter, said: “I had been so busy with childcare, but [at the hotel] I was able to totally relax. I asked the nursery staff about the correct way to breastfeed and give baths, which gave me confidence and motivation for future childcare.”
In a 2022 survey by the Japan Women Foundation, which works to support women’s health, 90% of the approximately 6,500 people who responded to the survey suffered physical post-childbirth symptoms such as lower back pain. Nearly half said they felt lonely and anxious for no reason. Due to such physical and mental burdens, 4.9% said they “gave up” on trying to have a second or subsequent child.
