“…Mothers mentioned that most of their family was still in their country of origin or living in another part of the U.S. One mother said that even though she had friends to help out with childcare, they worked most of the day. This is consistent with qualitative meta-syntheses that found that migrant and refugee women missed the abundant care provided by extended family following the birth of a child [10,71]. Thus, it appears that mothers' childcare options were limited compared to what they would have had in the DRC or Burundi with extended family and friends living close by to help out with raising children.…”

“…9 10 Taking migrant mothers' Facebook groups as a starting point for this research facilitates an emphasis on connections between mothers. It also establishes a temporally open approach to migration and motherhood: because the groups are used by mothers of both infants and teenagers, and by recently arrived and longer-settled migrants, drawing participants from the groups broadens the scope of the study beyond the common research focus on migrant women's experiences of pregnancy, birth and early motherhood (Hennegan et al, 2014;Joseph et al, 2018;Pangas et al, 2019). While making for a complex sample, this diversity brings together the experiences of women often analysed separately, or not at all, offering the opportunity for new insights, connections and contrasts.…”

“…Childbirth and breastfeeding (Dowling & Pontin, 2017;Liamputtong, 2004;Lupton & Schmied, 2013); Maternal-infant health and feeding transitions (Joseph, Liamputtong, & Brodribb, 2019b); Adaptation to a new country (Baird & Boyle, 2012;Katsiaficas & Suárez-Orozco, 2013) and Negotiation of maternity care postresettlement (Pangas et al, 2019). This phase of uncertainty is also referred to as betwixt and between (Turner, 2009) and matter out of place (Douglas, 2002) which, in the case of integrating into a new society, captures the experience of belonging neither to the previous nor new society (Niner, Kokanovic, Cuthbert, & Cho, 2014;Suárez-Orozco, Bang, & Kim, 2011).…”

“…Borrowing the concept of “contradiction‐conflict” (Schmied et al, ), this article is framed within the Liminality (to explore postpartum bodily weakness and uncertainties in integrating into the new western biomedical settings) and Pierre Bourdieu's habitus, capital and space (to examine social mechanisms underlying integration) theoretical frameworks. Liminality symbolizes transitory phases: Childbirth and breastfeeding (Dowling & Pontin, ; Liamputtong, ; Lupton & Schmied, ); Maternal‐infant health and feeding transitions (Joseph, Liamputtong, & Brodribb, ); Adaptation to a new country (Baird & Boyle, ; Katsiaficas & Suárez‐Orozco, ) and Negotiation of maternity care postresettlement (Pangas et al, ). This phase of uncertainty is also referred to as betwixt and between (Turner, ) and matter out of place (Douglas, ) which, in the case of integrating into a new society, captures the experience of belonging neither to the previous nor new society (Niner, Kokanovic, Cuthbert, & Cho, ; Suárez‐Orozco, Bang, & Kim, ).…”
