It's not just hospital practice that sometimes drives me crazy... Last month I had a mom ask me which pacifier style was best - she had received more than a dozen pacifiers at her shower, knotted into the bows. I also see a disturbing trend among mothers - breastfeeding seems to be a way to get the baby to shut up. If it was going well he wouldn't wake up and complain, would he?? Sigh.
