>The nurses will say "We are only using it for 20 minutes of this baby's

What percentage of the baby's life is 20 minutes when they do the
test? A lot bigger than for our lives.

>Removing the pacifiers will make the hearing test harder for the nurses and
>more babies will not pass. What do you all think???
Seems to me the test is flawed, not the kids. What percentage of kids
come back with + test results? how many of those are false +s? Can they
do the test later at the pedi's office? Can they do it while Mom is
holding and/or nursing the baby? Or perhpas they can do it with the baby
lying quietly on mother or father's chest?
Parents must become part of the care, not visitors, intruders on nurses'
turf.
