[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby friendly is a big reason why I left L&D. Nurses and even the doctors/midwives complained to management about it. It wasnt safe (they cut down on staff because they didn't need to staff a nursery, as well as all the issues mentioned here) and we felt that it didn't have everyone's interests at heart. We were ignored and accused of being negative /not supportive of changes etc.  Well, the worst outcome that can happen with exhausted moms happened. And all it takes is 5 min (in this case it was 45). Management blamed the nurse and even the parents instead of their idiotic policies.  No ide what the whole outcome was but the nurse quit nursing and nearly killed herself. [/quote]

Oh my God this is heartbreaking. How tragic and AVOIDABLE. It is a travesty women aren't allowed to rest after birth. After my last birth I was literally crying to my husband about the patriarchy and why wasn't I allowed to sleep after being in labor for 24 hours and pushing a baby out. Then I asked for formula and all I got was a lecture. [/quote]
