Hi Anne,

Try Melissa (NUM) Redlands Hosp. 
They were promoting this last year so hopefully are still doing so now. Cheers

Dear All,





 



HAPPY
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE MIDWIFE

to all my
colleagues.



 





Does anyone work in a hospital that
has a policy that promotes skin to skin in OT and recovery?





 





Would appreciate a copy.

Yes!  We have introduced this new protocol for all elective LUSCS (not
emergency ones yet - recovery staff think that if it's an emergency,
then the baby shouldn't be in recovery, it should be in SCN).

We have allocated LUSCS days and the Lactation Consultant is called by
the Midwife in OT when the mum is being sutured.  Baby is put into bed
with mum as she is being wheeled into recovery.  LC meets mum and
Midwife in recovery and assists with the first breastfeed. 
Unfortunately baby is wrapped straight away and given to dad in the OT,
and dad and mum both cuddle baby while midwife and paed finish
paperwork, check placenta, etc.  It's more cheek to cheek in OT, but
skin to skin in recovery.

Don't have a copy of policy as I'm on Maternity leave atm, sorry.
