[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lesson to those who haven't had their babies yet: don't put your baby in the nursery if you can avoid it.  It is better for you and the baby in many ways - your health, baby's health, bonding and also financially.[/quote]

Jeez, many many reasons why someone may need to, its only a couple of days. Does not make someone a bad mother. [/quote]

Also, they charge you for the nursery even when the baby is just in there getting checked over, getting their heel stick, etc. My baby roomed in with me for 99% of the time I was in the hospital and we still had thousands of dollars in nursery charges...thankfully covered by our insurance.[/quote]

Is this correct? We had a nursery line item charge from Sibley hospital and our baby wasn't in the nursery for even 2 minutes. We declined some of the tests and required the others to be done in our room. There was a hearing test that DH went to, but it was not in the nursery but in a different area where that test was done.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if it's correct. I am giving birth at Inova Loudoun (Birthing Inn) and they have actually changed the nursery to be called the "procedure room" and only take the baby there for things like the PP mentioned. I am sure at least part of this is due to the fact that if it's called the procedure room and the baby is only there for "procedures", they can charge you/your insurance for that. The implication on the tour was otherwise, the baby will be in-room with you at all times, including sleeping. [/quote]
