Schedules for home visits in the early postpartum period.

CONCLUSIONS: Increasing the number of postnatal home visits may promote infant health and maternal satisfaction and more individualised care may improve outcomes for women, although overall findings in different studies were not consistent. The frequency, timing, duration and intensity of such postnatal care visits should be based upon local and individual needs. Further well designed RCTs evaluating this complex intervention will be required to formulate the optimal package. PMID: 28770973 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
