Please give me your opinion on this situation. My first clinical day at a L&D floor. My babe is a 9"11 oz. healthy boy. He was last fed at 10:30 a.m. At about 12:45 or so, he starts fussing, rooting around, chewing on his shirt. Tried rocking him, walking with him, pacifier-which he continued to spit out--changed diaper, etc. etc. This kid was p(*^&&ed. Sooooo.......STUPID ME!! I think-Gee, maybe he's hungry? Was not told of any specific feeding policy, times, etc. and proceed to feed this kid 90 cc. which he basically inhaled. Changed him, rewrapped him snug as a bug, happy as a clam, snoozing away. So I proceed to tell my charge nurse that I fed him and she looks at me with daggers and says, "WHY???" "HE JUST ATE AT 10:30!!" I don't think she could have sounded any nastier if she tried. What was I supposed to do, let the kid freak out and stop him at 45 cc? Please, all you baby nurses, tell me if I did something wrong." I guess when I fed my kids, I was never aware of any cc. limit. I realize you shoulden't be feeding them every hour or two, but geez.
