  4. Improving head shapes on neworns

    quiltncatch replied to Laura SW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, and I agree with gompers on the emotional issue. Babies have no idea that they are "different". They don't learn this concept until later preschool, and it's because we teach it to them. Adults,...

  5. Improving head shapes on neworns

    quiltncatch replied to Laura SW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I see babies in their homes all day long. I have to say that the babies that have more of an attachment parenting experience have better shaped heads. These babes are held or worn in a sling or...

    quiltncatch replied to akvarmit's topic in Home Health

    As you can tell from the many replies, this is a hard one to answer. I swore when i started this job I would not "drive thru". I have only twice in 9 mos. I figured out what stores have a deli, I'll...

    quiltncatch replied to newflgrad's topic in Home Health

  9. 2nd day and I already want to cry!

    quiltncatch replied to newflgrad's topic in Home Health

    I just wrote a big long post and then lost it! The gist of it is....Make the call to CPS, I've had to do it and it isn't easy. I'll bet this family is already familiar to them, especially if they have...

  10. Frontier in May??

    quiltncatch replied to quiltncatch's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So I just had my interview!!! It was nerve wracking, but she was talking to me like I was already in. Why nurse midwifery? What are your strong and weak points as a nurse? How do you react in a...

  11. Frontier in May??

    quiltncatch replied to quiltncatch's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm from Vermont and my interview is today(Thursday) at noon. I did speak with her at length last year while I was still in school, so I imagine it will go about the same. Probably it's the same as...

    I'm a home health nurse who only works with new moms and babies. We have the occasional child under 20 who has a chronic or acute illness, but 99% of what we do is lactation support, education and...

    When looking at formula feeding in developing countries, you must always take into consideration the quality of water being used to make the formula. Also, is the formula within it's dates and is it...

  14. Home Birth: Is it safe where you live?

    quiltncatch replied to midwife2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Any study done on the safety of homebirth shows that it is a safe option for low risk moms. Each state has it's own laws and regs. Some are legal, some alegal and some downright illegal. Midwifery is...

  15. Drying up Breastmilk

    quiltncatch replied to Justhere's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There isn't anything that our hospitals use. Just leave them alone, don't stand in the hot shower facing forward, wear a supportive bra. But, you may want to ask the question of the Midwifery Today...

    quiltncatch replied to lpn1217's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've lost two babies in the past year. One was a baby who was born at home (no flames please, it's a legal choice here). The parents chose not to have an autopsy, but all signs pointed to a major...
