Well our hospital has just gone through a formula trauma....somehow formula co. discharge bags were brought into the nursery and given out... nurse manager came back from vacation and immediately stamped this out. She apparently had a big fight with the formula rep. We buy our formula. The rep told her that the reason we got the formula "at such a good rate" was that they anticipated us giving out the discharge bags as free advertising!! She laughed. Now tell me, if our hospital can be so good on this... why do we have to "warm up" babies in the nursery for maybe an hour before we give them to their mothers????? Is this some kind of weird outdated practice? We are talking about changing it but everyone accepts it as some kind of norm. I know little about hospital nursery practices. Is this common?
