Postpartum Family Planning
- NEW! Comprehensive Postpartum Care is a three-day training to orient providers on the provision of high-quality postpartum care, including family planning. Designed to be complimentary to other MNH packages, the training contains counseling checklists, role plays, and case studies for interactive training sessions. These sessions will give providers the necessary information to provide clients with the understanding of using lactational amenorrhea method, transition to other methods, return to fertility, and the health benefits of waiting at least two years after the birth of their last baby before trying to conceive again.
- The Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) is a modern, short-term family planning method based on the natural effect of breastfeeding on fertility.
- Note: This presentation can be included in preservice teaching for nurses, midwives, doctors or other healthcare cadre involved in providing counseling and/or services to women during the first year postpartum.
