 (Lesson ): The Importance of Maternal and Newborn Care
During early embryogenesis, pregnancy, birth, and lactation, the maternal nutritional status affects the
offspring’s health development. Subsequently, it also determines the child’s health during growth and even
throughout adulthood. The importance of maternal nutrition expands into the time-period before conception.
Fertility, embryogenesis, and life-long health are influence by the pre-conception nutritional status.
Predisposition for coronary heart diseases, type-2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension can be caused by
intrauterine adaptations to fetal malnutrition. Hence, the impact on the well being of the next generation lies in
the nutritional intake of women during their reproductive period.

Newborn - An exciting feeling is felt at home when you have a new baby, but it can be scary too. Newborn
babies have many needs such as diaper changes and frequent feeding. They can also have health issues that
are different from older children or adults.
Essential Newborn Care Protocol aimed to significantly reduce infant deaths in the country.
The protocol can pave the way for the reduction of neonatal deaths. Essential Newborn Care is an inclusive
scheme that improves the newborn’s health condition through the interventions given before conception, during
pregnancy, soon after birth, and in the postnatal period. This protocol focuses on the newborn’s first few hours
of life with the health workers and medical practitioner’s manual guiding in providing evidence-based essential
newborn care. The guidelines are categorized into the time-bound and

Time bound procedures should be Non-time bound interventions The behavioural development of

BREASTFEEDING - It is the traditional and ideal form of infant feeding, meeting an infant’s nutritional needs
for his first four to six months of life. Human milk is clean. It lowers the risk of intestinal illness and general
infection. Mother’s milk provides a host of protective factors both cellular and hormonal. Breastmilk contains
antibodies that helps the immune system of the infant strong. It is non-allergenic and easily digested.
LACTATION - It is the period of milk production initiated by the prolactin hormone in the mammary glands.
The mother’s milk is bluish and watery. It has approximately 67 Kcalories / 100 mL or 20 kcalories/ oz. and 1.2
grams protein per 100 mL. An average of 850 mL of mother’s milk is produced every day. The first thick
yellowish fluid that comes out from second to the fifth day after delivery is called colostrum. It should be given
to all newborns because of its high protein contents. Healthy childcare entails breastfeeding of the baby.
Remember:
The advantages of breastfeeding are:
 It is economical and nutritious.
 It promotes emotional bonding between the child and the mother.
 Mother’s milk has antibodies that protects the infant from certain diseases.
 (Lesson ): Responsible Parenthood
Parenthood - state of being a parent. biological child’s father or mother. legal father and mother of the child
when adaptation is involved.
Responsible Parenthood - the ability and willingness to respond to the family’s needs and aspirations.
Responsible Parenting - defined as the series of couple’s decisions to ensure the best possible life for
the family and for the community to which the family belongs.
Parents’ ability to raise children in the Filipino way and satisfies the economic, social, and religious
responsibilities of a family.
Parenthood is a great responsibility or task. It is not a role that can be successfully played based on chance. It
is where responsible couples arrive at after deciding to have a family.
Things to consider when thinking of parenthood:
1. Happiness and stability of the marriage. The relationship of the couple should be satisfactory
because a child’s arrival may only become another source of marital stress and misery.
2. Both parents must be physically and emotionally ready for parenthood. For a wife to give birth to a healthy
child, she should be physically and emotionally prepared and the husband must be mature enough in carrying
his responsibilities.
3. Financial stability. The cost of living gets higher as the newborn child completes the family and it
depends on his parents.
 What do we mean by responsible parenthood? An important part of growing up is learning to make
decisions about our lives. Part of the decision- making means taking responsibility for our own actions and
understanding that our decisions affect the lives of other people. A person needs accurate and reliable
information in making responsible decisions. The father and the mother must both decide together on the
family size and child
spacing; thus, their decisions will affect both of their lives.
 Duties and responsibilities of parents - Provision of physical care and love During prenatal stage,
parent’s duties and responsibilities starts. Children’s physical, mental, and emotional health depends on
the quality of prenatal care they received.
 Inculcating discipline - Parents must be the role models in instilling discipline in their children. They
should be taught on how to think and reason out for themselves and be able to know and decide between
what is right from wrong. Children should also learn to appreciate the value of freedom with responsibility,
to accept limitations, and understand the requirements of living happily and peacefully with other people.
