Postpartum in the Pandemic
In 2020, our team quickly released a qualitative open ended survey to parents and guardians taking care of a baby (or babies) 0-12 months of age. We wanted to explore the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic was impacting the postpartum period. We received 68 written responses from new mothers, and produced two publications based off our analyses.
