Hi Dede,
At our hospital we have both a "couch" that makes into a single bed for
family members staying with mom and we recently replaced the padded
recliner/ chair with a very nice glider chair. I find many mom's like
sitting in bed the first day, only because they can prop their feet/legs up
and they usually have other family/father taking up the other seating. I
personally find the gliders very comfortable with the exception of needing a
pillow to the back. I am short and my feet don't quite touch the ground
otherwise. It is difficult to get moms to use them sometimes though. I
just assist where ever they are most comfortable. Good luck.

Hello,=20
I am very new at working in the hospital mom/baby unit and am very =
excited about having this opportunity, but am also realizing how much I =
have to learn. I have been struggling somewhat with how to position =
these new babies while mom is in a hospital bed. I am sure that many of =
you also have troubles with this. So the question that keeps popping in =
my head is: Why is this mom in this *$#@#* bed anyway, she isn't sick! =
Do any of you have nice love seats in your rooms where the mom can mom =
sit and comfortably position the baby, which will be more like she will =
do it at home? Also, do you have little tables and chairs where she can =
eat like a human being? Are these questions even relevant to bf support =
in the hospital? I would love to hear any of your ideas.=20
TIA to all,=20
