Loni writes that she rec'd this statement from management:
<< "In the safety of protecting our patients, no newborns will be allowed to
leave the maternity unit to go over to the breastfeeding center with their
mothers, (even if accompanied by a nurse), to get lactation help." (We do
not have a LC on the unit during the day.) Afterall, an intruder could come
in and demand that I release the baby at gunpoint >>
Well, I hope that you never have to send a baby to x-ray, the same thing
could happen there. Maybe they should never be sent home. Someone could
carjack them & take the baby away. This reminds me of an old nurse that I
used to work with. If she didn't agree with how a mom or nurse was handling a
situation with a newborn, she would end up reasoning that "A" could lead to
"B" and that could cause "C" and then the baby could DIE!
