Nikki raises an issue that really concerns me. Try placing a newborn skin to skin and just as the baby makes that all-important eye contact with mom - a cell phone is put between them! The mobile phone can indeed be a huge barrier in family relationships - starting right at birth. So sad! :( Polite suggestions that maybe the phone should be switched off for a while don’t work.
