The answer would be: taking-in phase

Rubin postpartum emotional phase is divided into 3. The first phase is called taking in. In this phase, the mother is more focused on her need (resting after delivering the baby, food, or water). The phase is usually last for 2-3 days.

After this phase, there will be taking-hold phase and letting-go phase.
