[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does everyone on this board know with such clarity that GW is the worst? If personal experience, how many babies are you all having and how many hospitals have you given birth in?

Genuine question, because no one is ever saying, “I preferred Sibley over GW,” everyone talks about birthing hospitals as if we have all had the opportunity to have sampled each one more than once, like a lunch spot, and cannot BELIEVE that GW brought out food out cold AGAIN.

I had a fine time at GW. Postpartum not nearly as good as L&D but I’ll go back for my next birth because the strength of L&D was well worth it. FWIW  everyone I know in real life who went to GW likes it, much like everyone know in real life feels generally good about any of the hospitals they went to.[/quote]

I don't know if they're the worst, but they discharged my baby with borderline high bilirubin levels and having lost around 10% of his birthweight, with zero advice to me about how to detect whether he was getting any milk and when to supplement with formula.  So I feel pretty confident in saying they were negligent, and that I'd never go to a Baby Friendly hospital again.  [/quote]

I'm the PP who delivered most recently in March.  My postpartum experience was similar to the above three years ago.  My first baby had to be readmitted to a different hospital with jaundice because my milk didn't come in for five days.  However, I had a great experience with L&D and went back to GW with #2.

For #2, L&D were still great, and the postpartum experience was much better.  I thought the LCs were better, they discussed my baby's weight loss with me, the nurse offered me a breast pump, and I was offered donor milk when it was clear that my milk was late to come in (again).[/quote]
