When a Meguro City postpartum woman uses a postpartum doula (a professional in postpartum care of the mother and childcare support) until the day before the date 7 months after the birth, the fee is subsidized at ¥2,000 per hour. Planning to make a usage plan is also subsidized at ¥1,000, once only. The hour limit is 30 hours for a single baby and 60 hours for multiples. You can use a "specialist service that stays close to the mother after the birth," different from housekeeping, including cooking, breastfeeding support and care of older children, at much lower cost than paying yourself. You must use a doula provider registered with the city. Apply for the subsidy within 30 days of the last day of use before the day before the date 7 months after the birth.
