No more tears? Maternal involvement during the newborn screening examination.
Babies often show signs of discomfort and distress by crying during the neonatal screening examination (NSE). The authors hypothesized that supporting the baby with maternal participation may reduce infant crying during NSE. The objective of this study was to document incidental infant crying during NSE, before and after training residents, on maternal involvement and infant comfort techniques to help. ⋯ Newborn infants cry less and mothers were more satisfied with NSEs when shown simple support and comfort techniques for their babies.
