The medical staff of Xixi Hospital told Jimu News that Xixi Hospital, as a designated hospital, is currently responsible for receiving and treating infection cases in Hangzhou, including infant cases.
The reporter learned that among the infant cases, the youngest is only 5 months old. In order to take care of these infant and young children, the nurses in the isolation ward of Xixi Hospital became the children's "temporary mothers".
Every day, "temporary mothers" take care of their children one-on-one 24 hours a day, feeding milk powder and complementary foods, changing diapers, body care, coaxing sleep... Because the children are very young, some of them have not been weaned, eating and sleeping are big problems. Some people will cry as soon as they put it down, and they have to hold it and walk around all the time. In the 10-square-meter ward, "temporary mothers" carry their children for nearly 20,000 steps a day.
"There was a baby who hadn't slept last night and I held her all night. Didn't sleep much in the morning. "Temporary mother" Cong Rong just finished speaking, the child began to cry again, too late to continue speaking, she went to busy again. In order to better understand the needs of children and let parents pay attention to their children's situation in time, Yan Dingyan, the head nurse, set up a WeChat group and sent a video to each parent every morning to let them see their children. In addition, she also regularly informs each child of her diet, sleep, etc. in the group every day.
