Postpartum - Skills for midwives 4 (Pri

In this practical handbook, important activities for the care and examination of women in the first weeks after childbirth are described in detail. Each skills unit includes an introduction, a pre-knowledge test, work assignments with action descriptions, and checklists. Illustrations complement the precise description of the workflows. These can be practiced and refined in various settings and further developed in practice.

The following skills units are included in this volume:

• Monitoring involution processes

• Breastfeeding

• Supporting lactation processes and feeding the child

• Supporting the transition to parenthood

With the four volumes of the "Skills for Midwives" series, for the first time a German-language practical tool is available that allows midwives in training to practice workflows in order to prepare for professional life. The central skills and abilities that a midwife needs for competent and independent professional practice are described in detail. This makes the volumes also well-suited as a reference work for practicing midwives.
