A home visit is one of the responsibilities of health extension workers. Based on the integrated refreshment training for health extension workers guideline, the schedule for a home visit should be arranged according to the following conditions:

1. If the mother delivered at a health institution, the intrapartum care would cover the immediate postpartum care that must be provided to the mother and the health extension worker should stay with the mother and her baby to ensure their wellbeing. The second, third, and fourth home visiting schedule should continue on the third day, the seventh day, and at the sixth week.
   
2. If the mother gave birth at home, the first visit should be done on the first day within six hours. And it must be no longer than two days from the date of delivery.
   

The second and third visit should be performed at the third and seventh days and the fourth visit should be done at the sixth week.

Other than this schedule, the health extension worker should visit the mother at any time based on the mother's demand.

As a health extension worker, you should have to have a link with community health promoters to get information timely. An emphasis should be given as these visits are key preventive practices for the routine assessment, management and referral for both the mother and baby.

Also, you have to consider home visiting at the fifth and tenth day after birth in situations like preterm and low birth weight baby, HIV positive mother, or any maternal or neonatal illness is there.
