learning resources

Hi I am an aide who recently got transferred from the float pool to mom/baby/nicu I know a lot about med/surg dementia care rehab and caring for older people, but i am just starting to learn how to care for newborns and their moms. Does anyone have any learning resources? I would like to be able to better answer new moms and dads questions without having to run back and forth between the nurse all the time. there are resources to look at on the unit but i can't take those home with me. I don't have any kids myself and I don't have my lactation class until this wednesday. I know the basics like vital signs how to change a diaper how to bottle feed (not encouraged at my hospital) but i would like to know more about the patients i am caring for.

Thank you in advance!!!

    Is any literature given to mom on admission to floor? We give a big folder with lots of pamphlets regarding newborn care. Blood work we do, car seat safety, SIDS, Also contains a small booklet about feeding, using bulb syringe, taking temperature, etc. If so the information would be the same as the nurses caring for mom and baby. Good Luck and I hope you enjoy this unit. Teaching is a very big part on this unit, with such a short time to complete.

    sometimes even the best information for ourselves is the information for parents.
