Wouldn't it be lovely to see postpartum nurses have access to slings/baby carriers, or Nils Bergman's wrap for KMC, etc?

Think of the example the mothers and and their partners would receive at a very influential time regarding responding to their newborns...

I believe Maureen Fjeld is on Lactnet, and can testify to this, but there is a hospital in Alberta, Canada where this is being done (using Nils Bergman's KMC carrier) - I heard her speak about such practice at a recent LLL conference, and was thrilled, as I had never considered such a simple approach.

If every nurse could baby wear, we'd probably see less screaming babies, and new parents could learn and be taught about this option from birth...
