Late neonatal infection is an infection that occurs after the 5th day after birth. The main clinical forms are meningitis, sepsis, local infection (urinary tract infection, skin infection, mucosa infection, osteomyelitis, necrotizing enterocolitis).

Infections in newborns can be life-threatening. Therefore, preventing infections in newborns is a very important issue for pregnant women from pregnancy to childbirth and nursing.

Neonatal sepsis is a serious infection usually caused by bacterial invasion during the newborn period. The signs of infection in children are sometimes very loud but sometimes vague, if not detected and treated early, the prognosis will be poor, long-term sequelae. Therefore, preparing this knowledge is extremely necessary for parents in the first days.

Postpartum infections include a range of problems that can occur after vaginal and cesarean deliveries or while breastfeeding, such as postpartum uterine infections and postpartum perineal infections. In addition to trauma during childbirth or cesarean delivery, physiological changes during pregnancy contribute to the development of postpartum infections.

Caesarean section affects the mother's health more than normal birth. Especially the second and third caesarean section will be more dangerous than the first caesarean section.
