Baby Not Breathing

My new baby was just delivered by C-section and I was a bit taken back by the staff working on my baby. This is my 4th child and surprised to see the lack of adequate suction to clear my babies airway let alone watch closely as the staff member drops a device on the floor, picks it up, then it is handled by another member while they both put their hands back on the baby. Perhaps I am just an over protective parent but I felt a bit freaked out.

Routine suctioning has been dismissed by research years ago, it's only the States where they still do this. Your baby looked fine with an apgar of at least 8. He needed a tad of stimulation if anything.

Actually, this looked pretty routine (my plans are to become a neonatal nurse, so yes, I know what I am talking about). They did their job correctly, assessing the baby and letting the baby naturally clear his lungs. I have watched two of my four children be born NOT breathing, and I mean turn blue, full bagging, placing breathing tube blue. Your child is fine and they did their job, minus dropping the bulb suction. That I would be ticked about-not the rest.

This was not bad at all. They didn't reuse the dropped suction bulb.If anything, there were too many people working on this baby. Two is enough for this baby. Color, tone, and respirations were all normal for a c-section. And about sterility, c-section is concerned with the mother's incision site, not the baby. Does anyone think a vaginal birth is anywhere near sterile?

@DawnLiKESDiNORawrs how old are you? If you can't make better comments than this, you have no business posting. I truely believe You Tube needs to create a site for the kids to use. Far too many are jumping in to a thread and saying such childish things or creating those annoying 'thumbs up if' threads that have nothing to do with the vid, just the ego maniac kids seeking the popular 'it's all about me'.

They never used the suction again after they dropped it you idiots! You can clearly see in the video they threw it out. They got another one. This Mom should be damn happy they saved her struggling baby.

@colleb95 No he is talking about the way they were handling the baby and dropping devices and attempting to use it without cleaning it and also there hands, germs, ew. Maybe in the ghetto thats how its done but not in a decent sterile place.

all its o.k normal

And c section babies have more amniotic fluid cause they are not squeezed through the birth canal. That helps baby lose more amniotic fluid from their lungs.

They were rough to keep him awake and breathing! That's why they kept jiggling him. All newborns with breathing problems get the same treatment.
