Pinto, who has a boy with her husband Cory, emphasises the significance of preparing for the postpartum period and creating a “postpartum sanctuary.”
“In my culture, it is customary for a mother to be taken care of for the first 30 or 40 days, and the mother and baby never left alone to just figure it out,” she explains.
