Fresh guidelines for new mothers in football have been introduced by FifPro, including details of how they can return to full training and elite performance.
Created in consultation with medical and legal professionals, they cover three main topics offering advice for players, their support teams and regulatory processes.
They offer clubs an improved insight into how to manage returning mothers and the step-by-step processes they should take in training, recovery and their return to play.
Areas addressed include breastfeeding, sleep hygiene, nutrition, mental health, methods of delivery, pelvic health and exercise programmes.
