Well our hospital has just gone through a formula trauma....somehow formula
co. discharge bags were brought into the nursery and given out... nurse
manager came back from vacation and immediately stamped this out. She
apparently had a big fight with the formula rep. We buy our formula. The
rep told her that the reason we got the formula "at such a good rate" was
that they anticipated us giving out the discharge bags as free
advertising!! She laughed.
Now tell me, if our hospital can be so good on this... why do we have to
"warm up" babies in the nursery for maybe an hour before we give them to
their mothers????? Is this some kind of weird outdated practice? We are
talking about changing it but everyone accepts it as some kind of norm. I
know little about hospital nursery practices. Is this common?
