[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rooms are tiny but the nurses provide top notch postpartum care. I think if you convey to your nurse you’d prefer to not be checked on as much, they can accommodate that. You’ll still get visits from the pediatrician and the hearing test consultant (got a crazy bill for that, watch out!) though.

I personally liked the food too! [/quote]

This was my experience too.  Also as a second time mom in 2022 they left me almost entirely alone (I had to call the nurse’s station for ibuprofen one time) — I had an easy delivery and was clearly comfortable nursing and caring for my baby, and I’m pretty sure they were badly understaffed that weekend — I was ready to leave at 8am Sunday but they couldn’t manage to get our paperwork together until 5pm.

This comment is not a detriment to GW — they were attentive with my first when I was very anxious and had no idea what I was doing — but more a comment in favour of their triage capabilities.  Also in my experience the nurses and MUCH nicer and generally more helpful with breastfeeding support than the lactation consultants.  If you want an LC, get an appointment with the breastfeeding center 1-2 days after you leave the hospital.
