Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The study was designed to explore the effect of postpartum family visits on the promotion of breastfeeding and the improvement of maternal and infant health. METHODS: A total of 200 cases of parturients who gave birth in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected as the research participants. According to a randomized, double-blinded and controlled manner, they were divided into a study group (n=100, with postpartum family visits) and a control group (n=100, without postpartum family visits). The amount of lactation, breastfeeding status, knowledge of breastfeeding health, and the incidence of maternal adverse events were compared between the two groups at different follow-up times after intervention. The physical development of infants and the occurrence of adverse events were also compared. RESULTS: <0.05). CONCLUSION: Postpartum family visits for parturients can help improve breastfeeding, increase maternal knowledge of breastfeeding health, and also help reduce the incidence of various adverse events of parturients and infants, which is worthy of clinical application.
