In a message dated 97-01-28 17:55:19 EST, you write: << I think the nurses at this hospital are all on major power-trips about who the baby belongs to. I think many of them went into this specialty because they like holding babies, feeding babies, and generally acting like only they know how to care for a newborn and the mothers can't possible do it right. Given this attitude, it's amazing that they let mothers take the babies home with them. >> Dr. Frued told us this last summer that he thinks this is all related to potty training. That this type of nurse experienced great conflict with Mom during the process, learned to withhold the "gift" from her in order to gain power. In their adult lives they are still withholding, and we know what that makes them full of. :>) Nancy
