Understanding Postpartum Health & Baby Care Book + Guided Learning Web App

The Understanding Postpartum Health & Baby Care book + web app is specifically designed for discharge education, helping clinicians deliver clear, consistent, evidence-based instruction at the bedside and beyond. It simplifies complex topics using plain language, visuals, and video reinforcement, so all families leave the hospital with the same essential knowledge and confidence. It even includes a discharge teaching checklist and prioritizes topics in the book by ‘first days’ and ‘first weeks’ so nurses can provide focused instruction on the essential topics needed before discharge.

This resource is developed using evidence-based guidance aligned with leading organizations such as AWHONN (Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses), ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists), AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics), CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), ABM (Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine), and other nationally recognized health authorities. Content is regularly reviewed by InJoy’s Medical Review Board and updated to reflect current best practices in maternal and newborn care.

Best practice is to introduce the book early during the hospital stay and use it as a guide for structured discharge teaching by referring to the discharge checklist. Nurses can highlight key sections, review warning signs, and encourage parents to scan QR codes to watch short videos. This blended approach supports different learning styles and reinforces teaching without adding time burden.

The companion web app extends learning beyond the hospital by providing a personalized learning path, an expanded video library, and ongoing access to education through 6 months postpartum. Features like read-along audio, multi-language access, and mobile-friendly design help families revisit and retain information when they need it most.

The book + web app combination uses repetition across formats—print, visuals, and video—to improve comprehension and recall. Simple language, clear organization, and engaging media help parents absorb key concepts, while ongoing access in the web app ensures learning continues after discharge.

Yes. This resource helps standardize discharge education, ensuring all patients receive consistent, evidence-based written information, including requirements around warning sign education. Plus, its accessible design, inclusive language, and comprehensive coverage of postpartum and newborn care support organizational goals around quality, safety, and health equity.

By combining a clear, easy-to-use book with on-demand digital learning, this resource reduces confusion, builds confidence, and supports better communication between patients and care teams. Families leave feeling more prepared—and have resources to turn to once they are home.

InJoy provides an online staff training module that’s easy to distribute and review individually or together. Nurses receive clear guidance on how to incorporate the print guide and digital tools into bedside teaching, including best practices for using QR codes and reinforcing key education topics. This helps makes it easy to adopt with minimal training time, helping ensure consistent, evidence-based education across your team.
