These guidelines advocate an earlier start to preparation for birth and parenthood, and a broader approach to parent support and to improving the skills of women and their partners in health matters.
Their aim is to help health professionals
- prepare couples for the birth of their child and taking the baby home, through educational sessions suited to the needs and expectations of the parents-to-be
- support couples, especially those who are vulnerable, in order to avoid parent-child relationship problems
- provide information and key points on parenting: building family relationships; the material, educational and emotional needs of the growing child
- encourage better coordination among the relevant professionals and with the pregnant woman, from the antenatal to the postnatal period
