Have you looked in your maternal & child nursing book? There has to be a chapter on postpartum care explaining care and appropriate assessments. Can you try to think it through? Try to think of what problems breastfeeding & non-breastfeeding mothers might have. How you would assess for them? How will the assessment/care differ for a breastfeeding mother vs a non-breastfeeding mothers? I am no expert in maternal/child nursing, but these were a just a few things that came to mind.
