Postnatal care involves the care of the mother and newborn immediately after birth and up to six weeks postpartum. This period is critical for addressing any complications that arise and ensuring the health and well-being of both mother and baby. Postnatal care includes:
Monitoring for signs of postpartum depression. Providing guidance on breastfeeding and infant care. Ensuring the mother is recovering well physically. Offering family planning and contraceptive advice.
