Teaching Plan OB

[Carla25]

I am trying to prepare a couple of teaching plans to take with me on my OB rotation one for mom and for baby, will you take a look at the first one?. Feel free to add delete, make suggestions. This is just my rough draft/outline

Patient Teaching on Infant Safety

• Use an infant car seat
  
• Put baby to sleep on back
  
• Place infant on a firm mattress never on comforters, pillows or water beds
  
• Avoid loose bedding in the crib and remove all toys stuffed animals or blankets that could impair the baby's breathing
  
• Make sure the crib is safe, no more that 2 3/8 inches apart between the bars
  
• Avoid clothes and blankets with loose strings and do not tie a pacifier around the neck with a string
  
• Avoid tobacco use in the environment (second hand smoke)
  
• Provide adult supervision of the baby at all times by a trusted individual
  
• Test the bath water temperature before giving a bath and never leave the baby in the bathtub alone
  
• Never place a baby on high object such as counter, table, or bed and always keep one hand on the baby during activities like changes diapers to prevent falling
  
• Wash hands correctly and often (15-20 sec...)
  
• Avoid contact with people who are sick and may be contagious
  
• Have smoke alarms in the home and avoid fire hazards
  
• Never shake the baby (Shaken baby syndrome)
  
• Never sleep with your baby (risk of suffocation)
  
• Always a good idea to learn infant CPR

Thanks for looking it is not due for a couple more weeks so I just put together this real quick.

These all sounds like good suggestions. Are you getting these from your textbook or from some other references? There are plenty of good websites where you can get good baby care information. Also, with regard to the baby car seats, I think a number of states have website information on this as well.

This information is out of my book.

i think those interventions are great! you are going to make one heck of a teaching guide for the new mommies!
