This term was coined by the Brits, it may have been Sheila Kitzinger or 
poss. Chloe Fisher.  It means spending a couple of days in bed with new 
baby, partner who spends some of the time in bed and the rest serving food 
and drink.  It is recommended for that period a few days after the birth 
when things are really hectic, mother feels jet-lagged and is worried she 
doesn`t have enough milk.  No visitors and no phone calls, unless 
grandparents come round with a pot of soup, wash the dishes - and go home 
again.
