The Pithei Teshuva wrote in Yoreh De'ah, Siman 89, Se'if Katan 3: "[And see in the Teshuvot Chatam Sofer, Siman 73, that a sick person who drinks milk for his healing, even if he is only slightly ill, does not need to wait more than an hour after eating meat, and after he has already blessed Birkat HaMazon, he may drink and it will ease him, see there]:"
And this is what the Chatam Sofer spoke about a slightly ill person, and this is even if he is not defined as a sick person without danger, and since a new mother within 30 days is considered as a sick person without danger, certainly and all the more so that an hour is sufficient.
