Abstract
The transition to couplet care from traditional maternity care can be fraught with challenges. However, if proper planning and education are undertaken, couplet care that is rewarding to staff and patients can be achieved. Couplet care has been shown to increase exclusive breastfeeding rates, decrease newborn admissions to higher level care, and increase patient satisfaction.
