Nurses' Notes
1045:
The parent prepares to take a healthy 2-month-old infant home after a clinic visit. The infant will be placed on the back for every nap and nighttime sleep. The parent says, after feeding, the infant will sleep on the stomach so milk cannot come back up. A safety-approved crib with a firm, flat mattress will be used beside the parent's bed. Only a fitted sheet will cover the mattress, and a sleep sack will replace loose blankets. The parent plans to place a small positioning pillow under the infant's head to prevent a flat spot. Tummy time will occur while the infant is awake and an adult is watching. All grandparents and babysitters will receive the same safe-sleep instructions. The parent states if the infant falls asleep in a stroller, the infant will be moved to the crib when practical. The infant will sleep overnight in the car seat after it is carried indoors. The crib will remain free of bumpers, toys, quilts, and stuffed animals. The parent asks the nurse to watch a return demonstration of the sleep-space setup. The nurse identifies statements that need additional teaching before the family leaves.
