Abstract

Postpartum support programs play a crucial role in ensuring the health and well-being of mothers and infants during the delicate postpartum period. Nursing and midwifery professionals provide essential care, education, and support to new mothers, helping them navigate the physical, emotional, and social challenges that arise after childbirth. This review explores the various components of postpartum support programs, including breastfeeding support, maternal mental health interventions, newborn care education, and postpartum follow-up services. The impact of these programs on maternal and infant outcomes, such as maternal mental health, breastfeeding rates, infant growth and development, and maternal-infant bonding, is analyzed. Additionally, the review discusses the challenges and barriers faced by nursing and midwifery professionals in delivering effective postpartum support, such as limited resources, cultural considerations, and healthcare system constraints. Strategies to enhance the effectiveness of postpartum support programs, including interprofessional collaboration, community partnerships, and technology integration, are also explored. By synthesizing current evidence and best practices, this review aims to provide insights into the importance of nursing and midwifery postpartum support programs in promoting the health and well-being of mothers and infants.
