Synopsis
The neonatal period covers the first 28 days after birth. During this period, effective care, monitoring and counseling play a critical role to ensure healthy development, increase survival rates and protect the health of newborns. While neonatal mortality is largely preventable, it remains high. Improving neonatal health is possible with appropriate interventions before, during and after birth. Monitoring and regular check-ups, especially in the first weeks of life, contribute to the healthy development of the baby. Midwives guide parents with their expertise in infant care and parent education and support the long-term health of both babies and families by improving their knowledge and skills. Focusing on many important issues such as newborn care, nutrition, hygiene, sleep patterns, immunization and danger signs enables healthy growth and development of babies.
