The new mother will need social support and information,which may be successfully implemented through foster grandmother programs,mother support groups,and nursing visits every 3 months during early life.Books might be useful for some women;however,in view of the low literacy rate,there is a strong possibility that the books would not be read or understood.Although the nurse's explaining appropriate behavior in the hospital might seem helpful,new mothers are under a high level of adjustment and stress,and this is not the best time for learning.Furthermore,new mothers are rarely in the hospital more than 2 days after a normal delivery.Screaming at an infant is an at-risk behavior and not an appropriate behavior for a new mother.
