Preparing For the First 48 After Baby: Mother Baby Nurse Jessica
Manage episode 371854494 series 3311139
Today I sat down with Jessica, who is an experienced RN who specializes in Mother-Baby, Postpartum, and NICU.
Basically, my opposite!
We chatted about the postpartum routine she recommends for her patients and their support partners when they enter their postpartum hospital room.
Here are the main tips:
- Baby eats every 2-4 hours.
- When the baby stirs, the partner/support person cares for the baby, and Mama goes and takes care of her peri-care needs.
- Baby gets fed
- Everyone rests
- You do you during postpartum (you must listen, it's too much to write out!!) But basically, you decide what you are comfortable with during postpartum recovery and do it.
