Abstract: Background: The core of postnatal care is that midwives recognise the needs of women and new‐born babies and provide the highest possible quality of care and medical safety to optimise the health and well‐being of new families. The study aimed to describe midwives' experiences in providing postnatal care for families during the first week after the birth of their baby. Method s : An interview study included 18 midwives who interchangeably worked within the models of traditional hospital care, hotel‐based care, home‐based care, hospital‐based check‐ups, and specialist care at a breastfeeding clinic at one university hospital in Sweden. Data collected were analysed using thematic analysis according to Braun and Clarke. Findings: The main theme: 'Like a torch that enlightens new parents along a narrow and winding path into parenthood – a midwife's transitional support' was explored and comprised two themes: (1) Strengthening parents' self‐confidence in their parental role by handling over parental responsibility; and (2) Challenging to facilitate parents' understanding of their parental role. Conclusions: Midwives expressed that supporting parents in the parental transition was a delicate task and included balancing mothers', babies', and partners' needs. The midwives guided parents into parenthood during postnatal care in a strategic manner by strengthening parents in their parental role. Postnatal care delivered by midwives is crucial for new parents and their babies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
