Brilliant idea!

I've asked my midwife beforehand and also hospital nurse when my daughter was born why don't they show/teach parents how to perform cpr and they wasn't sure why not but thought it was a great idea and should be mandatory.

Thankfully never needed to perform cpr and we have a very healthy little girl but it really was a massive worry due to other complications at the time.

Although I believe it's most likely to do with lack of time and cost, but just as someone goes round offering photo packages at the hospital for £200+ surely they could have someone who can teach & provide cpr guidance too, at a cost even, as I would of paid there and then just for peace of mind to learn how to if needed.
