This week in clinics I went to Mother/Baby. It was a great learning experience. To see first hand what we were learning about in class made things click with me. I had a great nurse that showed me a lot. I was real nervous about doing an assessment on the first day, but was more comfortable on the second day. It was great to hold a newborn, even though I made them mad when checking their temperature...they didn't like it when I had to hold their arm down. I did get to teach my first mother about the frozen cabbage leaves, she said that she had heard about it, but she would keep it in mind over the next several months while she was breastfeeding. My second mom was a multipara with now 3 boys. They were excited about their new brother. I really feel more comfortable with the postpartum nursing after day 2. I can't wait for next week to have another mother to help and teach.
