[Assistance to the healthy newborn infant. 1. Experience of a new model of nursery care].
We propose an organizational model which provides proper assistance to the mother and newborn, promoting at the same time, an adequate structure for the child-parent relationship. We refer to the results obtained over a 2-year period, during which we gradually achieved a "rooming-in" situation and organized the assistance in the nursery to the newborns with minor pathology, and without substantial modifications either to structures or personnel. However providing a minimum of equipment and pediatrician and qualified paramedic personnel all the time. We noticed a statistically higher frequency of breastfeeding even after a time lapse (table 3), and a marked decrease of transfers to the neonatal pathology whit, especially among those neonates with minor pathology (tables 5 and 6). The fulfiment a direct connection with the family pediatrician and his services, through a complete and personalized exchange of informations, and a good degree of cooperation with the obstetrician, supported by the results discussed and evaluated together before (or him).
