Background: The in-hospital postpartum period is a critical opportunity for health care providers to enhance maternal understanding of newborn care, yet few studies have determined whether health care providers' educational priorities match those of new mothers.
Objective: To document how well pediatricians' perceptions of educational priorities for counseling about care of the newborn match those of new mothers during the postpartum hospitalization, and to determine whether pediatricians' actual counseling practices reflected maternal priorities.
Design: Cross-sectional study of perceived educational needs with direct observation of pediatrician counseling practices.
