Why is there an antenatal section but not a postnatal section?

Postnatal care is often cited as being the part of a parents journey which is most lacking, however there is not specific section of this site which deals with postnatal issues.

Is there any way what this could be resolved?

There is a postnatal bit isn't there? In parenting? Hang on il look...

NoMoreMarbles · 25/02/2013 00:31

Yep there is...go to topics, being a parent and post natal clubs are there

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 25/02/2013 00:41

Is it not just the clubs though Marbles?

Would be great if there was a postnatal advice section.

People tend to post under 'parenting' for postnatal advice.

There are a few none club type posts in there AFAICS Schro but I agree posting in parenting seems to be the post natal way to go

Please no more topics!

If you want your threads to be read they have to go where there is already traffic. There are a gazillion topics for every aspect of postnatalness from feeding to weaning to behaviour & development to parenting and even PND I think. Not to mention style and beauty for "where can I get a nursing bra that doesn't look like a visual contraceptive" queries, product topics for all your "dd hates the baby bath, can i just top and tail", nappy, buggy and other queries... and of course the lovely ladies with raggedy bits' thread.
