IMHO- I support maintaining certification in NRP for those LC's working on a Mother Baby unit. Yeah- most of the time there will always be someone available to bail you out if a baby arrests, but those precious seconds are wasted until a responder comes. I think , especially if we are RN LC's working in a hospital setting, we need to remember we are RN's and keep life saving certifications up to date- whether our current job appears to utilize it or not. I have had 1 newborn in my breastfeeding moms support group stop breathing on me. Even though we were in a classroom inside the hospital, I still had to provide rescue breaths until help arrived..... I now also carry a self inflating ambu in my breastfeeding cart. Better safe ( and certified) than sorry....
