We have a baby photographer who goes room to room.  Our photographer is very
conscious of babies who are skin-to-skin or breastfeeding, and actually
leaves her hospital cell phone # for the parents to call when they are ready
for pictures.  It's still not ideal; many parents want to interrupt
skin-to-skin and get those pictures done, but it is SO MUCH better than the
old system where the babies went out to the nursery and were in a line-up
for pictures.  They ended up staying away from their mothers for very long
lengths of time.  We worked really hard to get this change put in place.
