I am consulting with a mother who will be having a surgical procedure and a 
subsequent overnight stay in the hospital.  She desires to have her 4-month 
old baby stay with her and nurse, with someone else staying with her to take 
care of the baby.  Hospital administration will not allow the child to stay 
overnight due to security and "health" concerns of the baby (exposing the 
baby to germs in the hospital), and that it's too "risky" and that the mother 
needs to recover and rest.  What policies exist in other hospitals regarding this 
issue?
