A highly qualified postgraduate certificate that offers the professional in this field the most interesting and useful advances in breastfeeding from a point of view centered on the baby as an active agent of breastfeeding"

Considering the mother-child binomial as a fundamental principle in the development of postpartum care, the midwife must have a thorough knowledge of the most important aspects of newborn care. This module covers all the characteristics of the healthy newborn as well as all the physiological changes and adaptations that occur in the first hours and days after birth. The content has been organized by devices and systems to facilitate understanding.
 
The early detection of risk situations in the adaptation of the newborn to extrauterine life by carrying out diagnostic, control, referral and follow-up activities, and, if necessary, taking the appropriate emergency measures, is one of the main training axes of midwives. 

Within this module, health education in relation to newborn care as well as the approach to the main reasons for consultation that parents demand in primary care occupies an important place. Despite the overlap that occurs with the well child program run by the pediatric nurse, it is the role of the midwife to provide adequate health education to the woman, family and community by identifying learning needs in relation to maternal and child health and carrying out the different educational programs related to the needs detected. 

It is important to clarify concepts and make recommendations from the perspective of evidence-based medicine. Given the heterogeneity of the information that reaches the pregnant woman, it is our job as professionals to promote and assist through proven and unified criteria. Through the topics included in this module, concepts on breast anatomy and physiology, breast milk training and its composition will be reviewed and reinforced. The focus of this module is to solve doubts regarding practical aspects of breastfeeding in order to ensure that it is effective in the different stages of the postpartum period and that it is always favored and promoted.
