decreased risk of:
-Infant diarrhea
-Respiratory infections
-Of being hospitalized for respiratory syncytial virus
-Otitis media
-Necrotizing enterocolitis
-Childhood obesity
-Decreased cost

-Elevated serum bilirubin
-Blood group incapability
-Direct Coomb's test - reveals presence of antibody coated Rh-positive

white papules on the face; more frequently seen on the bridge of the nose
and chin
Mechanism of heat loss: evaporation
Give this one a try later!
Loss of heat that occurs when water on the
neonate's skin is converted to vapors, such as
during bathing or directly after birth

-sterile, vasaline
-if the penis adheres to the diaper, soak the area with water until it naturally
release, do not pull the diaper off the penis
-pulling the gaze can cause pain and interfere with healing process
-heals with 2 weeks
Anatomy and physiology of milk production
Give this one a try later!
-Changes that occur are known as mammogenesis
Under the influence of increased estrogen and progesterone during
pregnancy the breasts and areolas enlarge, mammary glands differentiate
and lobules and alveoli within the breast develop
-Milk is produced in the alveolar glands and is transported to the nipple
through the lactiferous ducts and is influenced by hormones and infant
suckling
