Hi all,
I am trying to change our hospital practice for newborns from the
stressful scrub a dub under the warmer where they howl,become exhausted
and then don't feed well, to the gentler immersion bath.  The problem I
am facing is trying to find a reusable tub that will be acceptable to
our infection control team.  Can anyone give me suggestions or policy on
this.  I find that the babies usually love the immersion bath and it is
less time consuming for the staff.  Baby can go skin to skin after a
brief drying.
Thanks,
Mary Westra RN, IBCLC
