[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Second the notion that no nurse is going to change a diaper outside of maybe coaching you through the first one. Though some hospitals will take your baby to the nursery for a few hours overnight, and bring the baby back when he/she gets hungry.  You are the parent and need to take care of your baby just like you will once you get home.  I also gave birth in a teaching hospital so a nursing student was assigned to me both times in post partum.  In one case, the instructor was teaching her and it was helpful to listen along.  with baby #2, I just had her watch the baby so I could shower without wheeling the bassinet into the bathroom.  I think the key here is while yes you are recuperating, you are still a parent first.  [/quote]

In VHC the nurses did everything. I had a difficult delivery with both of my girls. They were amazing. Changed their diapers, took them away from me so that I could sleep, helped with me breastfeeding etc. I came home well rested and recuperated. I’m sure it’s a bit different now with covid. I also didn’t need anything - they had everything the baby and I could possibly need. I definitely over packed.[/quote]
