Overview
About this book
This concise book, presented in an easy-to-follow alphabetical format, is designed as a tool for students and professionals to carry in any setting, providing a quick reference guide to supporting women and babies during the postnatal/neonatal period.
This latest edition of Postnatal and Neonatal Midwifery Skills has been updated to reflect the most up-to-date guidance around the postnatal and neonatal care of women and newborn babies. The third and final text in a set of three which together guide readers along each step in the journey from pregnancy to postnatal/neonatal care, Postnatal and Neonatal Midwifery Skills considers the time following the birth and the care required for women and their babies in the postnatal period. Whilst covering the key principles of postnatal care including postnatal examinations of mother and baby alongside infant feeding information, this is the first pocket reference to include the skills for the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination (NIPE).
Written in an accessible way, this book provides step-by-step processes for students to follow, and is ideal for professionals to share with the women and families in their care.
