Thanks, Sue. I don't think we'll be examining babies in the rooms anytime soon. We just got new windows that give the rooms a nice green tint. Oh, well.

We all know what is right and where those babies want to be and should be. The fact is all across America - babies are being held captive in nurseries - so when the pediatricians wander in - they can examine "their" babies. I applaud Joyce for caring enough to swaddle them up and comfort them. S0- what about the warming bed for temp control - I love that one! - or - worrying about a baby's blood sugar. Hello! put the baby on moms breast - let's get some action going here. So what are a nurses options? We could all wage a rebellion! There you go. Where is an organization like the AAP through all of the issues surrounding trying not to compromise mother/baby bonding, skin-skin and breastfeeding. I can't understand why physicians are not changing some of their practices. Are their any physicians out there with ideas on how to diplomatically create change in the nursery (like get rid of it) It would be much more time efficient to see the baby in moms room.
