I haven't worked on a ward but what if mums were given a good quality basic
sling/wrap to keep baby in when they were holding them in bed-it would
facilitate STS, breastfeeding, and mean baby couldn't roll away if mum falls
asleep. The hospital could even brand it and make it a gift they can keep
after discharge. There may be slings out there that are comfortable for the
CS mums too?
