Joann, At my hospital we have a special consent that the mom signs, and someone has to be with the baby to be responsible for the baby. I think cribs are no problem, since most hospitals have enough of those lucite cribs on wheels. We provide a breastpump "classic" believe it or not, and a single breastpump kit from Medela. It would be better to have the double kit, but the hospital does not get reimbursed for the lactation supplies,since most of the patients are on state insurance similar to medicaid. Babies of any age have stayed with their moms. I can get a copy of the consent and mail it to you, or try to scan it and e-mail it, if you e-mail my private address with yours. Hope this helps.
