[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, are there hospitals that will not let you send the baby to the hospital in between feedings?  Like they actually do more than encourage you to keep the baby in your room, they actually say "no"?????  I didn't know this was a thing.   I admit its been a while but for each of my deliveries I requested this and it was not a problem.[/quote]

No, that is not happening.[/quote]
Tell me you haven’t given birth recently without telling me you haven’t given birth recently.[/quote]
They cannot deny your request. [/quote]

Of course they can. They don’t have a nursery or the staff for it and they will tell you that if you ask.[/quote]

My mother is an OB nurse and has taken babies out to the nurses' station informally if a mother is having a really hard time or requests a little sleep.[/quote]and she is one person. At the hospital I delivered at I asked for the baby to go to a nursery they said flat out said no we can’t do that and didn’t take the baby or even help me with the baby in my room. [/quote]+1 PP’s mom must work at some magical hospital that has so much staff that mom has time to just kick back at the nurses station and care for a baby.[/quote]

No, it's a crappy rural hospital, actually. I was just trying to make the point that while the entire system tends to suck, there is the odd nurse here or there who tries to buck the "baby friendly" nonsense.

I had the same sh*t hospital experience as you guys, fwiw. Constant monitoring, bright lights, lactation consultants bugging the hell out of me at all hours when sleep + formula would have been just fine.[/quote]
