Question 3

why is my baby nursing less?

Accepted Answer

It depends: Depending on the age of your baby and what is going on, there are a number of possibilities. In a newborn, if your baby is sick, poor feeding may be a symptom. In an older infant who is eating solid foods, your baby may be getting more calories from the solids and more physically active (and also more efficient at nursing), so the feedings may be spreading apart. Good weight gain is a great sign.

Accepted Answer

The exit door: Ask your relatives or loved ones if you can live with assistance at an attached part of one of their homes.  Make sure you accept all the assistance they want to give you, and get a separate area/entrance to your spot.  Give them space, and make sure they give you your space.

Question 7

Dozens: As a this is a site for doctors, we are likely not the best resource for this question.  However, there are dozens of nursing specialties with their own governing bodies.  They range from the adminstrative (case management, informatics) to the traditional clinical (ambulatory, critical care) to the advanced care provision (CRNA, midwife).

Question 8

what is neonatal nursing?

Accepted Answer

Neonatal nurses: They are nurse who have extra training and experience to take care of newborns at the neonatal ICU. Those babies could be in the hospital due to prematurity, infections, congenital anomalies, depression or difficult transition around time of birth, etc

Question 9

taking a sip of alcoholol while nursing?

Accepted Answer

One sip ?: Although studies many years ago suggested that beer might promote milk flow, later studies have shown that ethanol is a potent inhibitor of prolactin hormone, the hormone that stimulates milk flow. A simple sip is probably never going to hurt baby, but why bother. If you consume enough to get a buzz, you should probably pump & dump for a while & hope future feedings are not too small for baby.

Question 10

what are the advantages of nursing homes?

Accepted Answer

Skilled Facilities: A skilled nursing facility usually has two separate operations: post-hospital rehabilitation and long-term care. In ltc, this is a the permanent home for these residents. They are unable to care for themselves at home and require a higher level of needs for care than can be delivered in any other setting. Snfs are highly regulated so they deliver a slew of benefits including meals, activities, etc.
