maternity nursing

Newborn nourishment method

Maternity nursing is the branch of nursing focused on caring for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, as well as their newborns.

Maternity nurses work in labor and delivery units, provide prenatal education, assist with breastfeeding, and monitor both mother and infant for complications.

The field overlaps with obstetric nursing and may extend to neonatal intensive care.
