Oh my goodness, I can't believe they're still doing that! After the 1st
message, I was going to write, but figured that 18 yrs (when I had my
last baby in Philly) was too long. My HMO had the visiting nurse come
on days 2 and 4 postpartum. She did the testing in my home (PKU). They
also gave me the services of a "homemaker" for 8 hours -- I had her come
twice, 4 hrs each. All this for going home "early" -- the morning after
the birth. My only complaint at that time was that the visiting nurse
knew nothing about breastfeeding, and my baby had major sucking problems
(thank you to my wonderful private IBCLC who came on day 3).
