help with discharge-newborn

Hi,

My Mom has used this forum to help me out and it really has been a blessing. I have a project coming up. Its not hard but I want it to be great so wondered if any of you might help. I have to present to a mock Mom discharge instructions for her newborn. I know this is all in the text book but was wondering if you knew of any sites that might have a check list( I don't want to forget anything). Also any ideas to make it less boring. There are like 40 of us that have present it, so its going to be pretty boring after awhile. We only have 5 to 7 minutes to present.

Any ideas????:idea:

THANK-YOU SOR MUCH FOR THE CHECK LIST!!!! ;) This is what I am looking for. The hospital I do my clinical at does not have a OB/GYN unit....they had to close the wing down due to funds. So peole have to drive 45 minutes or more now to deliver. So I am really searching out any check list any of you might have and how you would do a discharge.

I think that the point is that ANY co-sleeping is dangerous so therefore I would never recommend it. The daycare I work at- we have a litttle boy whose baby sister is dead because of "safe" co-sleeping. Mom is suing last I heard for them giving out literature teaching that it can be safe and she has a good case.

Yes, it would be controversial, thats why it would stand out! She could mention that the AAP is against co-sleeping, and give reasons why the teaching should be done (site the deaths from unsafe co-sleeping, and how those mothers might have benefited from safe cosleeping info teaching in the hospital.) I think it would make her presentation stand out among the "safe" presentations.

That was my thought too.

I'd be interested in reading that case.
