This document provides a summary of information for families about caring for their newborn and the mother. We provide this material understanding that adapting to parenthood can be an exciting and sometimes challenging time, especially in the initial days after baby is born. This can mean that information shared by the Maternity Services team can sometimes slip from their minds, "what did my nurse say about?". This book is provided as a take home resource to families discharged from the Maternity Unit so that they can easily remind themselves about key points of the discharge teaching they received in hospital.
