In response to your question, Germaine - about how to keep newborns from
being wheeled out to the nursery at night, the only way to deal with this
is to eliminate the nursery. Ours turned into a changing room and area with
armchairs for pumping.
That said, it is one of the paradoxes of modern care that we have mothers
sequestered in an institution ostensibly for their own good, yet we remove
them from the support they could get from their families, such as someone
to hold the baby so she can have a shower, eat breakfast, sit on the toilet
for more than 30 seconds, etc.
