Its direct format with bold headings makes it easy to locate desired subject matter quickly, a plus for new parents. Warning signs are reviewed and detailed instructions are given regarding when to call for assistance. Mother and Baby Care answers many of the questions frequently asked by new parents. It is a wonderful tool for reinforcing postpartum and infant care instructions in the class and during the hospital stay.
