rooting
stroking a baby’s cheek-should make baby turn head towards
PMI in infant

moro reflex
occurs when an infant is startled by a loud noise or other environmental stimulus or feels that he or she is falling. The reflex causes the baby to extend the arms, legs, and fingers and arch the back

neonatal labs
RBC 9-30 (18), hbg 14-24(17), hct 44-64 (55),platelet 150-400, BGM 40-60,
periods of reactivity
1st period is birth to 30min, then baby rests for couple hrs, then 2-6hrs of life baby awakens and feeds again
Babinski
rub sole of baby’s foot-toes should spread and big toe should pull upward. Occurs for first 1-2years, it is a bad sign in adults points to neuromusc problems
what tests newborn for gestational age
Ballard scale- SGA less than 10%, AGA 10-90%, LGA 90%+
macrosomic
newborn that weighs more 8lb 13oz or 4000gm
4 ways newborn may loose heat to envt
convection, radiation, evaporation, conduction
NIPS
newborn infant pain scale-subjective pain scale 0-7
baby metabolic screening
blood test for 30+ diseases, done at 24hr mark, done with heel stick. Tests thyroid, maple syrup disease, sickle cell, PKU, etc
postpartum assessment
4th trimester, BUBBLEEE-breasts, uterus, bladder,bowels, lochia, episiotomy/incision/lacerations, extremities/homan’s sign, emotions
involution
shrinking and moving downward of uterus-returning to prepregnancy state
location of uterus
is measured in relation to belly button +1/U = 1 above umbulicus, U/0 = at belly button, U/-1 = 1” below belly button
lochia
vaginal drainage after birth, day 0-3=rubra(red/brown), day 3-10 serosa(yellow/red), day 11-21 Alba(clearish/gray). Inc in activity will inc lochia
episiotomy
cutting b/t vag and rectum. Median incision-straight down, Mediolateral-cutting down and around rectum
homan’s sign
dorsiflexion of ankle-if pain in calf it signals mom has DVT
what can tachycardia in postpartum mom signal?
hemorrhage or anemia
lactogenesis
the onset of milk secretion, begins in 2nd tri, full milk production begins 2-3days after birth. Birth of placenta-decreases progesterone wich initialtes breast milk
how much weight does newborn loose?
5-10%
and how long till they gain it back?
2 weeks
nestitis
infection in nipple d/t baby
how long does alcohol stay in breast milk?
2hrs
what causes letdown in milk?
oxytocin-which is stimulated by baby sucking on nipple
what is in colostrum
digestive enzymes, antioxidants, quinones, immunoglobulins, and growth factors
cues baby is hungry
nuzzling and opening mouth, tense appearance, grunting, kicking/waving arms, had to mouth, crying
pee and poop schedule for newborn
day 1- 1pee, 1 black poo, day 2- 2pee, 1 black poo, day 6- 6 pee, 3-4 yellow poo

8-10 per day or every 3hrs, wake them up
benefits of breast milk for baby
reduces neonatal mortality rates, passes on antibodies to protect from inf, digests easier than formula, may protect against diseases later in life, facilitates attachment of mom and baby
benefits of breast milk for mom
dec risk of breast, uterine, ovarian cancer, dec postpartum bleeding, facilates weight loss, dec risk of osteoprosis and hip fx.
nutrient requirements for breastfeeding mom
additional 500 calories daily, extra Ca, prenatal vitamins, extra fluids
CP
chronic nonprogressive neurologic disorder resulting from insult to the brain, usually Dx occurs before 18mo b/c they are not meeting development milestones, infant reflexes persist past infancy (moro, babinski, startle)
causes of CP
Prenatal-preeclampsia, exposure to toxins, genetics, Rh type incompabilities, intrauterine ischemia, toxoplasmosis, CMV, rubella. Perinatal-breech birth, cord around neck, low birth weight, birth trauma, hematoma, abruption, previa. Postnatal-shaken baby, meningitis, head trauma/MVA, CVA
Types of CP
hypertonic (spastic), Athetoid(dyskinetic), Ataxic
hypertonic SP
spastic type, most common, stiff musc, contractures, scissoring of leggs, flexion of arms, hip dysplasia. Classified by number of limbs affected (ex. diplegia, tri, quad, L or R hemiparesis). Lots of surgeries
athetoid CP
dyskinetic- 10-20% of CP, slow writhing movements of head arms, legs, face, tongue, can cause drooling and grimacing. Movements inc with stress or when child is upset. They dec when child is sleeping
ataxic CP
rare form of CP, affects balance and depth perception, walk with wide gait, diff with fine motor skills, have tremors
complications with CP
contractures, frequent resp inf, cognitive impairment, self care deficit
