the bracha is said immediately after she washes her hands and is able to say it. it cannot be said a few weeks later. Perhaps it was birchas hagomel, which some in EY have a minhag to bench? Perhaps it was the newly minted bracha of the aforementioned rabbi’s cohort’s “shelo asani eesh” and the mother doesn’t say it that morning so she can patur her new daughter. Its very touching.
