[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do these nurses for holding babies magic come from? [/quote]

Appropriate hospital staffing.   Doesn't have to be highly medically trained staff to fulfill this function either, just gentle responsible and common sense providers.[/quote]

LOL. Good luck with that. Nursing is completely short staffed in 2023. They aren’t going to hire some phantom “gentle, responsible and common sense” non-nursing staff either.[/quote]

Import nurses from India. English speaking, college educated, well trained, willing to work hard and for less pay.   [/quote]

NP. Both of our moms would have sat and rocked babies all day when we were in the hospital. Except there wasn't a rocking chair in the postpartum room (but there was one in labor and delivery- why?!). Why don't they allow dads or grandparents to rock babies in the nursery? I just needed to sleep away from my crying babies. DH trying to soothe a crying baby while I slept wasn't working.

Or maybe we could hire someone like a doula or night nurse- "postpartum hospital helper nurse" and bring them to the hospital with us? After all, my vaginal deliveries were 29k and 36k, surely that gets me a little help? [/quote]
