[quote=Anonymous]For generations, babies were sent to the nursery after birth so Mom could rest and recover from childbirth. Closing nurseries or limiting their use is simply a way for hospitals to cut costs and put the burden of care on the mother - who is often in no condition to care for a newborn having just given birth. Hospitals guilt new Moms by telling them they need to bond with their babies or establish breastfeeding. That’s nuts! What a new Mom really needs is time to sleep and heal, and only then will she be able to bond with the newborn. I would be interested in learning how poor postpartum care contributes to PPD in new mothers. [/quote]
