I have a theory that she’s waiting until she’s recovered from the birth so that she isn’t inundated with messages of advice about how to heal her perineum or scar (if she had a section), how to sit/lay comfortably, what pads to use, what big knickers are best etc. etc. and until feeding is established. Again to avoid the breast v’s bottle debate because there would be no point once it’s established and again to avoid lots of the advice - have you tried this nipple cream, try expressing to boost your supply, how many ounces is he on, what do you clean his bottles with, you should use hungry baby milk etc. etc. I’m not sure why but I also have a feeling she may want to completely breeze over her birth story, unless it’s to say it was a vaginal birth with no pain relief. All of the above, she is well within her rights to do, and I actually think it would be the best thing to do, to avoid a lot of well meaning, but an the end of the day, pointless and unwanted advice - a new Mum will do what she feels is right for her and her baby. It can be unnerving enough when your granny and mum are telling you you’re doing something wrong, just because they did it a different way 40/50 years ago, let alone 2.5 millions strangers....sorry I mean Hinchers/Shoppers/Best Friends. Hopefully she just listens to her own instincts and the advice of her Midwives and Health Visitors.
