Features: Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital is a maternity and gynecology specialty hospital with a history of over 60 years, where it welcomes the birth of more than 5,000 new lives annually. To implement the health work guidelines for maternal and child health that focus on "health services as the center, combining health services with clinical practice, and serving grassroots and communities," the hospital has, since 1992, successively launched the "Fetal University," "Inpatient Maternal and Child Health Family School," and "Good Mom Class." These programs allow pregnant women and their families to enter the classroom to systematically learn about prenatal and postnatal health care, breastfeeding, and infant feeding knowledge. They also address clinical issues and concerns that pregnant women and their families may have. These lectures have been well-received by pregnant women and their families, featured and praised by CCTV, and recognized and acclaimed by society. Through these educational programs, maternal and child health self-care abilities have been greatly improved, effectively reducing the incidence of prenatal and postnatal complications and enhancing the quality of obstetrics.
To further improve awareness of maternal and child health knowledge among the general public, expand the coverage of health education, reduce risk factors for illness, and help pregnant women spend a pleasant and peaceful time during the important period of their lives—pregnancy, postpartum, and the neonatal and infant stages—while ensuring children pass through the critical period of their lives—neonatal and infant stages—safely and smoothly, we have compiled this book. It addresses common issues and hot topics that arise clinically among maternal and child health workers and their families, as well as lessons learned from recent difficult experiences in prenatal and infant care. These lessons serve as reminders from the opposite side, urging maternal and child health workers and their families to pay attention to certain perinatal and infant health matters.
