A key component of postpartum education is breastfeeding and newborn care because these are critical for the health and well-being of both mother and infant. Proper breastfeeding techniques promote adequate nutrition, enhance immune protection, and support mother-infant bonding. Newborn care education ensures parents understand essential practices such as safe sleep, hygiene, and recognizing danger signs. This guidance decreases complications and improves outcomes during the vulnerable postpartum period.
