I went in to see a pt. today whose baby was less than 24 hours old. Her pedi has us see all his moms whether they need it or not, so when he orders formula he feels like he supports breastfeeding. I walked in and couldn't believe my eyes. This baby was swaddled tighter than any baby I've ever seen, AND she was in a swing. They brought their swing from home, to put their brand new baby in! I asked if she had been extra fussy and the mom said, no, she had been an angel. I explained why it's not a good idea to keep them so tightly swaddled, and she should be close to her mom and said she probably didn't even realize she had been born and thought she was still being fed through her umbilical cord, cause not much else had changed. Just had to vent. Thirteen years, I thought I had seen everything that could shock me.
