The puerperium is often overlooked period of time. Postpartum care presents a special challenge not simply because it concerns at best two people with very distinct needs- the mother and the baby-but because of the wide range of disciplines which make a contribution to good quality care.9The people in general are not much interested in the care of the mother after delivery. People in general do not see the need for elaborate postnatal care especially multipara mother as they feel she is much experienced so she can manage the postnatal period without any help. People lack knowledge about importance of postnatal care. There is difference between multiparous and primiparous in different aspects. In a study multiparous mothers scored higher on self care, infant care, maternal competence than did primiparous mothers regardless than did primiparous mothers regardless of the care delivery system.10 This article shows that there is no much difference between primiparous and multiparous mothers though there knowledge is lacking in different aspects .Both should be considered same and should be given care, information, regarding self and new born.

Abstract


The puerperium is often overlooked period of time. Postpartum care presents a special challenge not simply because it concerns at best two people with very distinct needs- the mother and the baby-but because of the wide range of disciplines which make a contribution to good quality care.9The people in general are not much interested in the care of the mother after delivery. People in general do not see the need for elaborate postnatal care especially multipara mother as they feel she is much experienced so she can manage the postnatal period without any help. People lack knowledge about importance of postnatal care. There is difference between multiparous and primiparous in different aspects. In a study multiparous mothers scored higher on self care, infant care, maternal competence than did primiparous mothers regardless than did primiparous mothers regardless of the care delivery system.10 This article shows that there is no much difference between primiparous and multiparous mothers though there knowledge is lacking in different aspects .Both should be considered same and should be given care, information, regarding self and new born.
