[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not been mentioned, and in NICU babes unpreventable - but babies are also recovering from being born. Being separated from their mother is traumatic even if they are sleeping. Your baby knows your scent and heartbeat. Being down the hall is not awesome for them. [/quote] Yep. This. Which is why we need better nurse/patient ratios and more hands on help for the recovering mom. Wouldn't even need to be super skilled care. I did this for my sister. Even a post partum doula in the room to rock and hold baby and get the mom anything she needs, notify nursing staff when mom and baby are awake and it's a good time to take vitals if they are due soon. [/quote] Exactly! This is also why people hire sibling doulas. They are the on call childcare. [/quote]
