Background
Even after advances in obstetrics and neonatal care, the most frequently neglected outcome measuresare maternal satisfaction towards quality of postnatal care. It needs to be meticulouslyaddressed to improve the efficiency and quality of couplet care during puerperium.Considering the paucity ofstudies addressing the effectiveness of couplet care, a descriptivestudy is obligatory.

Most (80%) mothers were moderately satisfied for quicker to identify their baby's early feeding cues, in terms of improved breastfeedingand bonding/attachment to the baby (73%) and with nursing care provided (76%). Overall, majority of the postnatal mothers were moderately satisfied (36%)with the mother baby couplet care.No significant association was observed between postnatal mother’s level of satisfaction and socio-demographic variables (P>0.05).
