Sorry Jon, I know zip/nada/nil/rien/foi about building codes! "Foi" is Bambara for "nothing"! Do the building codes say how BIG the nursery must be per number of births per year, or just that it must exist? Seems to me you could build one that could hold 2-4 babies for not much expense. Surely you can imagine a situation in which a mom would be too sick to take care of the baby but the baby was fine and didn't need to be moved, just needed someone to care for it that first 24 hours? Or how about babies given up for adoption, or if the mom dies, until the family can take over? Or those moms who just want someone else to take care of the baby while they sleep? Just some thoughts.... Kathy Dettwyler
