Contact the University of MI at Ann Arbor, MI. They don't bathe babies
until parents ask for bath and they do it in the mom's room under a warmer
that is kept for just this purpose. (the warmer is cleaned and returned to a
safekeeping place on the floor after the bath.) I certainly think that
going back to STS after the bath is better than a mechanical warmer,
whenever and where ever baby gets bathed.
Unless mom is known HIV or other blood borne contagious illness, I think
your infection control people are out of control :-) Pat in SNJ.
