Thanks. The info is great. We do bout 200 deliveries a month. Currently we also do LDR and then transfer to PP, however, newborn transitions in nsy and goes out to mom after bout 2hrs obs. Who transitions ur babies? Do u do 1st meds for NB in LDR when doing recovery with mom? Who takes care of ur other pt if ur do delivery and recovery? Thanks, ur response is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, that is similar to what we would like to do in our unit. How many deliveries do u all do per mo.? Who does transitioning of newborn? Who cares for newborn? When does babe receive 1st meds after delivery, in room? or nursery? Thanks, very interested in response.

I am working at a hospital where we will soon be trying out "mother/baby" care. Currently we are L&D and pts transferred to PP after delivery, however, our census has dropped and are now considering crosstraining L&D nurses to do "mother/baby" care. Anyone out there that has this experience, please let me know, "How does it flow?" Do you work the rooms by "pods" or do you shuffle mom and baby after delivery to a different area (post partum)? I am looking forward to providing total care for both mother and newborn.... Please help, I'm very curious as to how things will "flow".
