Postpartum care is essential for the recovery and health of the mother and newborn. Nurses are responsible for:
Monitoring the mother’s vital signs and physical recovery. Helping with breastfeeding and ensuring the baby is feeding well. Checking the baby’s health, including weight, jaundice, and other vital signs. Educating the mother on self-care, newborn care, and signs of potential complications. Providing support for postpartum depression and other emotional challenges.
