We recently had a mom who kept delaying the bath where I work, I saw no
problem with it but some of the other nurses were freaked out and finally
the clinical director of our unit came and got the baby and bathed him
because mom was a beta strep carrier, she was treated in labor with
antibiotics .  Mom "consented" reluctantly, I felt bad for her. Tried to
talk to the director but she was afraid with mom being a b strep carrier
that baby had a greater chance of getting it the longer the bath was
delayed.  I don't have any info on this, do any of you?

Thanks!
Cindy
