Are we talking about the same thing here? By Pampers do you mean disposable

baby nappies (diapers)? Aren't they are bit big and bulky to be using for

peri pads?

Yes, , we sure are! They may be pretty big, but then those

hospital-issue peri pads are pretty darn big too, and a whole lot rougher on

a sore perineum--I swear those things were made by a masochist! At least

Pampers a pretty soft, and with the newborn size, they aren't so big either.

Hey I'm always willing to learn more.

Yes diposable diapers, you simply open them up at the " tape " end (ours are

velcro) but they pull apart very easily, use your hand to seperate the liner

from the stuffing inside, pour in chipped ice (not cubes, oouch!), and then

fold over several times and reseal with the tape. We add a piece of wide

tape as well to really secure it. They fit perineums eprfectly and are soft

and absorbant (don't I sound like a diaper commercial?). Not too bulky

either.

Velcro diapers??? Boy Jan, your place sounds really fancy.

Question for the group..do any of your hospitals record the lot numbers of

the formula given away as samples in gift bags??? Jacho came thru today and

wants us to do it for each patient. Never heard of this one!!! Lori

JCAHO came through our hospital in January and never said a thing about this.

Rationale?

The rationale for recording lot numbers of samples was in case the formula

ever got recalled. Seems to me it's a bunch of busy work, esp. in a large

hospital. Imagine if you had to record the lot number of every free sample

you ever recieved in case it was tainted??? I guess my kids would never eat

any grocery store samples again!!! LOL I am not sure if we are going

to be recording the info yet, I heard our manager was going to research this

further. Lori

Hooray!!! I'm so glad you are able to be baby friendly. I wish we were

brave enough to do this. But, it is such a strong cultural taboo here

amongst the poor to NOT breastfeed their babies. It is considered to be a

sign of rising above poverty to bottlefeed their babies. I know, I know,

it's all screwed up. We're working very hard to reverse the trend and

remove the cultural taboos. It's a difficult road and we've been working it

quite a while. I think we have made some headway. I can see small,

measurable differences.
