Ọmụgwọ () is an Igbo practice in which a family member takes care of a new mother and her baby, in a short period of time after childbirth. Ọmụgwọ can be done during the first 40 days of a child's life or more. In most cases, it is the child's maternal grandmother or maternal step-grandmother that stays during the period of ọmụgwọ. In their absence, the paternal grandmother will replace the maternal grandmother or maternal grand step-mother.
