Dr. Dan and Robin discuss several BabyCenter survey findings including: 
*Moms are facing a support crisis in the months immediately following birth, according to the BabyCenter survey. At home, moms are too often left to piece together their own postpartum care while balancing that with the health and well-being of their newborn.
*As a result of a baby-focused approach to postnatal care, more moms feel prepared to care for their newborn (65%) than they do to care for themselves (47%). 
*First-time moms struggle with postpartum self-care: Only 38% feel properly prepared to take care of their own physical and emotional needs after giving birth.
