• I used to think that if the baby was born lifeless they were dead. But now I know that that is not always the case |
• Before I didn’t know how to give breaths to the baby |
• We used to use a straw to give mouth-to-mouth breaths to the baby but now we can use the [self-inflating resuscitation] bag |
• I can remember being taught how to use a [self-inflating resuscitation] bag in my training but I had forgotten how to do it because we didn’t have one in our health centre |
• We used to hit the babies on the back to help them breathe but now I know how to do it properly |
• We used to bend the babies legs up to their chest and then push on them to make the baby breathe |
• Now we delay cutting the cord so that the baby can benefit from getting more blood. |
