The ten-step baby-friendly hospital is regarded as a guideline for successful breastfeeding. ''Practice rooming-in'' is a good policy for the health of mothers and their infants. However, women in the early postpartum period suffer from physical and psychological distress. Moreover, a conflict exists between the traditional postpartum ritual and rooming-in practice and the postpartum care policies and environment do not meet postpartum women's needs. Obviously, executing the policy is sometimes difficult. In order to improve the current dilemma, based on Kolcaba's comfort theory, we offer three suggestions for postpartum health care providers, including (1) applying the multiple evaluation criteria and individualized postpartum care strategies to alleviate women's postpartum discomfort| (2) understanding the effects of the postpartum ritual on women's postpartum care, being aware of women's individual needs and adaptation, operating family support to facilitate the ''rooming-in'' practice, and then eliminating the conflict between postpartum ritual and the ''rooming-in'' practice| and (3) fostering a women-centering postpartum care policy and maternal friendly postpartum environment. More flexible postpartum care policy and friendly postpartum environment can facilitate the policy and beneficial to women and infants' health. |
