EBB 269 - Mini Q & A on Early Newborn Discharge from the Hospital, Vacuum Delivery, and More!

In this Mini Q&A episode of the EBB podcast, I will be answering a variety of questions that have recently been asked of us, including:

 

1.    What if my hospital won't let my healthy newborn go home before 48 hours?

2.    Are modern ultrasounds better at detecting big babies?

3.    What's the maximum time a vacuum can be used during a vacuum assisted delivery?

4.    Does EBB have any new resources I should know about?
