Parents play a crucial role in postpartum care once the baby is discharged from the hospital. Key actions include:
Follow-Up Visits: Attending all scheduled medical appointments for ongoing assessment and vaccination. Healthy Environment: Maintaining a clean and safe home environment to reduce the risk of infections. Observation: Closely monitoring the baby for any signs of illness, such as fever, poor feeding, or unusual lethargy. Parental Self-Care: Ensuring that parents also take care of their own physical and mental health, which is vital for effective newborn care.
