The Postnatal Notes for Mother are to be used in conjunction with Postnatal Notes for Baby. The dual documents ensure support
of the mother-baby dyad whilst acknowledging that mother and baby are individuals. When a mother is bereaved, an alternative booklet
is available; to review the Bereavement notes click here.
Where the baby is with carers other than the mother, the Postnatal Notes for Baby booklet stays with the baby. At the end of the period
of midwifery care, each booklet should be returned to the unit for filing.
