[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why in the world are people having babies at hospital with no nursery!?!?

Signed,
A mom that successfully breastfed two kids and sent both to the nursery so I could at least get ab4 hr block of sleep. Had the nurses give formula during that time. Milk came in full swing after 3 days and no longer needed formula!![/quote]

Because very few area hospitals have nurseries and you select your practice not usually where you deliver. So if you like your practice--those who you go to for all appointments plus who you deliver with--you'll stick with them. If you value a hospital having a nursery, then you could find one in the area and then find who delivers there. Honestly, it's not something I was aware of until well into my third trimester and at that point no way would I change practices. I delivered at Inova Alexandria during slow times (Christmas) and the nurses offered to watch DS for us as I recovered from my C-Section. I don't think it's standard though.[/quote]
