Lactnetters:
I had an exciting meeting today.  Administration at our hospital is finally
ready to hear a plan to keep Mom's and babes together.  Of course there is
concern with adequate staff and how are we are going to admit babies and where
(L & D or Postpartum).  I was invited to be on the task force to come up with
a plan.  We had our first meeting today.  How have some of you done this at
your hospitals? Where are you admitting babies?  Are you moving Mom and babe
together?  What about c-sections?  How are clients accepting total rooming in?
Are patients still being charged for nursery?  Our next meeting is January 28
and I would like to have some good input.
You all are so great!  I have so appreciated responses to a few past
questions.  What a caring group!!!!!
Thank You in advance!
