Lynn says: ************************************* Perhaps the most stressful part of my NICU/nursery days were the fact that babies were left to cry. I can't even guess how many times I have seen a group of MDs/Rns conferencing around the warmer of a screaming infant with no attempt made to quiet....grrrr... **************************************** One of the most frustrating things I encounter in the hospital is the baby who is crying in his plastic bucket, the mom sitting in bed, reaching over the side of the bucket and patting the baby. I always ask if I can hand her the baby so she can snuggle w/ him, or nurse him -- I'm shocked at how often they refuse to hold the baby, and would rather let him cry and fuss. And nurse him? Not on your life. It isn't TIME yet. GRRRRRRR.
