My experience is that nurses on paediatric wards seem to get hardened
to the sound of babies screaming - maybe it's the only way they can
get their job done.
Dear Friends:
Over the course of the many years that I have been working in
breastfeeding, I have gotten better at understanding what babies are saying. My
tolerance for screaming babies is nil, even less than when I began my lactation
career. I even brought a wrong baby out to a mother once because I got rattled
and wanted to rescue a baby from that den of anguish, the so-called nursery.
(Fortunately, the mix-up was detected before the mother even picked up the
baby!)
As mothers are watching what nurses do in the hospital and modeling
their own mothering on what they say, I can't believe that closing the nursery
door so the din of many babies wailing doesn't bother the staff is the message
we want to convey.
warmly,
