Please bare with me.  This vent is tied into breastfeeding.

I recently got a call from a mom (this is a situation that happens often
with C-Sect moms from our military hospital)---Situation---Mom had
C-Sect.  Hospital procedure is to staple the incision.  At three days
postpartum prior to mom being discharged, the staples are removed.
Nothing is put in place of the staples.  Mom goes home.  Mom has
dehissing (sp?) from the incision.  Now, mom has to go to the hospital
every other day to have incision cared for.  Mom lives far from
hospital---traffic---hospital does not allow baby to be there.  Mom is
trying to get breastfeeding off to a good start.
C-Sections add another concern to getting breastfeeding off to a good
start, then to add this on top of it.

As I said before this situation happens often.

You think they could arrange for the babies to be with moms in this
situation. I am not a doctor, but my understanding is that this problem
with the incisions could be avoided.

Thanks.

Aloha,
