A Nigerian woman who gave birth to quadruplets shared how long her mother had stayed for omugwo.
Omugwo is a traditional practice where the mother or mother-in-law of a nursing mother offers postnatal care to the newborn.
In a video by @momofquadruplets8 on TikTok, the lady said her mother had stayed two years with her for omugwo.
She noted that her mother had seven more years to stay, sparking reactions from netizens.
The video was captioned:
“Poor woman. Its been two years she came for omugwo because I have quadruplets. She has seven more years to go. My mom. My pride.”

Omugwo is the postpartum care given to a young mother by a much more experienced woman who must have raised many kids herself.

The reasoning behind Omugwo is that young mothers need to be tutored on how to care for newborn babies and also helped to understand the changes that occur in their bodies during pregnancy and after childbirth.
Apart from teaching young mothers how to care for a newborn, Omugwo serves as a transfer of family knowledge from the older generation of mothers to their daughters, who will do the same for their children.
In a related story, a Nigerian lady shared how she prepared her mother to come abroad for omugwo.
