I find our answers to Esther's gown question very revealing. I was going
to reply and say, "use an IV gown" -- that's the gowns with snaps. So
for those of us who would say, "use a hospital gown" -- does that mean
all our moms have IV gowns on?? I wonder if they were bought all one
kind because it's more cost-efficient -- or because moms get routine
IV's??

Oh for normal birth!! (I even got to MEET Mary Kroeger at the Lamaze
conference.)

But -- we do use our IV gowns. We have plenty of "nursing gowns" but
moms and nurses alike find the snap-down-at-the-shoulder gown easier for
nursing.
