<<First why are those babies (or any baby, for that matter), in the 
nursery, instead of with moms?>>

While I would wonder the same thing in a normal, healthy situation some 
of us give birth to critically ill babies who are on life support and 
airlifted to a NICU hundreds of miles away and those babies are not with 
mother 24/7.  I was one of those mothers and it was hours between when 
my son was medivaced down to the NICU and when I was finally able to 
catch up to him - having to leave the hospital where I gave birth AMA 
b/c they wouldn't let me go and having to drive down there.  In my 
situation it was important that the staff know that my son was going to 
get breastmilk and not to give him ANYTHING w/o calling me first to ask.
