I am planning a curriculum for independent breastfeeding 
classes I plan to teach.  One of my major focuses will be 
avoiding the pitfalls of early breastfeeding, including 
separation of mothers and babies.  I know that the one 
hospital I have experience with has babies stay past the 
mothers discharge when they need antibiotic therapy and 
although mothers are allowed to spend time in the newborn 
nursery breastfeeding when they choose they are not 
usually able to have a bed, etc.  I was wondering what 
options are offered to families at other hospitals and 
what parents can talk to their peds. about to keep mom 
and baby together.
