Mother Baby Unit
Introduction
While having a baby is traditionally associated with heightened emotions of happiness and excitement, it can also be one of the most stressful. The transition to parenthood brings immense physical, emotional and social upheaval that can be overwhelming for parents at a time when they are also getting to know their new baby. If, in addition, an infant is restless and cries excessively, the burden can become very difficult.
