International Postnatal Support Day is a yearly remembrance of the important 40 day rest and bonding time after birth. In many traditions, new mothers were taken cared for by their peers. Slowly the concept is getting know in western households.

The 2nd of February is also the celebration of Candlemas, where in Christian tradition Maria's motherhood is honored 40 days after christmas with a ritual bath, blessings and good wishes.

The Postnatal Support Network initiated this International Postnatal Support Day in 2018 as fluel for what they believe is going an important movement toward better health and healing for women of our world and our future generation.
