Discharge talk

This is a poster in the emergency department in the hospital that outlines warning signs for new parents to look for after bringing their baby home. Great visual example and helpful knowledge for new parents. This has been updated with translations :)

1) If he is irritable and cries a lot
2) If he is difficult to arouse
3) If she will not breastfeed or vomits after every feed
4) If he is breathing heavily and you can see skin pulling in between his ribs
5) If there is redness around the umbilical cord stump
