What is japa?

The first 45 days, in caring hands

In many Indian families, the weeks after childbirth are a special time of rest called the japa (confinement) period. An experienced woman — the japa — looks after the newborn and helps the mother recover, just as grandmothers have done for generations.

Our japa experts from Bihar bring that same traditional wisdom into your home: the daily oil massage, warm baths, help with feeding, and caring for the baby at night so the mother can heal and rest.

For your baby

How our japa cares for your newborn

Gentle, unhurried care built around your baby's feeds, sleep and comfort.

01

Oil massage (malish)

A gentle daily massage with the oil your family or paediatrician prefers — soothing for the baby and good for sound sleep.

02

Safe, warm bath

Sponge baths until the cord falls off, then careful bathing — and the baby is dried and dressed warmly straight after.

03

Feeding & burping

Helping the mother with comfortable breastfeeding positions and burping the baby after every feed.

04

Swaddling & sleep

Swaddling, rocking and soothing the baby to sleep, always placed safely on the back.

05

Nappy & hygiene

Frequent nappy changes, nappy-rash care, clean clothes and sterilised bottles and baby items.

06

Cord & skin care

Keeping the umbilical cord area clean and dry, exactly as your doctor advises.

07

Night-time care

Staying up for night feeds and changes so that the new mother can rest and recover.

08

A watchful eye

Telling the family straight away about fever, yellowing of the skin, poor feeding or unusual crying.

For the new mother

Rest, recover and bond with your baby

  • A calm rest-and-recovery routine after delivery
