3. What role does occupational therapy play in new baby care?
Occupational therapy helps parents adapt to the demands of caring for a newborn by providing strategies for time management, organising baby care routines, and creating ergonomic environments to prevent strain and fatigue. This support helps parents manage their daily responsibilities more efficiently.
