AB  - BACKGROUND: Postpartum family planning (PPFP) helps women space childbirths, 
      increase exclusive breastfeeding and prevent unintended pregnancies, leading to 
      reduction in maternal, infant and child morbidities and mortality. Unmet need of 
      family planning is highest among women in the postpartum period due to lack of 
      knowledge, cultural and religious barriers, access barriers and low antenatal 
      care service utilization. However, in spite of low prevalence of postpartum 
      family planning practices, birth-to-birth interval is reportedly high in Delhi, 
      India. This study explores the postpartum contraception practices and the 
      relationship between use of postpartum contraception and subsequent child linear 
      growth. METHODS: This is a mixed method cohort study on PPFP and is nested within 
      an ongoing "Women and Infants Integrated Interventions for Growth Study" (WINGS). 
      Married women aged 18-30 years who have delivered a live baby are recruited for 
      quantitative interviews at 6 weeks, 6, 12, and 24 months postpartum. In-depth 
      interviews are conducted with a randomly selected sub-sample of women at each of 
      the four time points, 35 husbands and 20 local service providers to understand 
      their perspectives on PPFP practices. DISCUSSION: The findings from the study 
      will provide useful insights into couples' contraception preferences and choice 
      of contraception, modern and traditional, initiation time and the effect of birth 
      spacing and contraception use on subsequent linear growth of the child. This 
      knowledge will be of significant public health relevance and will help in 
      designing appropriate interventions for appropriate postpartum contraception use 
      and delivery strategies. The study aims to work address the Sexual and 
      Reproductive Health and Rights goal of promoting reproductive health, voluntary 
      and safe sexual and reproductive choices for women. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Trial 
      registration number: CTRI/2020/03/023954 .
