No, we're talking about basic safety and fall prevention for very vulnerable patients (newborns). Fall prevention is a basic safety issue in hospitals. Leaving a newborn with a drugged/exhausted/post-surgery non-ambulatory mom is NOT safe.  That's the whole point here. You're acting like nurses are babysitters; they're actually caring for TWO vulnerable patients.  [b]I mean, what would you think if the post-partum nurses were themselves on morphine, couldn't walk, had just gotten out of surgery, or hadn't slept for 4 days? Would you think they were fit to care for infants, or anyone?[/b]   [/quote]

This is such a great damn point. [/quote]

No, it’s more hyperbole.  You act like you were literally left alone after birth.  Nurses at GW checked on me constantly.  If you ask them to help you swaddle the baby or put the baby somewhere, they do it.  [b]My bassinet was RIGHT next to my bed.   [/b]I didn’t have to hold the baby constantly.  I guess the take-away is that people’s care needs vary because the anger about GW is not my experience at all.[/quote]

I'm guessing you didn't have a csection?  I had a csection and wasn't able to reach over for my baby as I couldn't twist.  I had to fully get out of the bed to go and pick her up countless times.  However the nurses offered no help.  I was in tears one night as I was in so much pain getting up that the nurse offered to take my baby for two hours.  An entire two hours!  The nurse acted like this was a huge deal and a unusual gift.  [/quote]

The nurse helped you.  [/quote]

2 hours is too little and it should not be presented as favor. baby in the nursery should be the default and baby in the room should happen upon request.[/quote]
