title: The management of puerpera by visiting midwives one month after delivery.
abstract: We studied the importance of the management of puerpera by visiting midwives. We investigated their need for midwives in baby care and for themselves. The contents of their requirements were baby care counsel, breast massage and breast-feeding support. Mothers in a one-month period after delivery wanted breast-feeding support more increasingly than in one week, which means that out of the hospital, they couldn't know whether their babies were satisfied with their breast-feeding or not. We should assist them continuously to one month.
