"I didn't know that hospitals charged for it, but doing 'skin to skin' in
the operating room requires an additional staff member to be present just to
watch the baby. We used to take all babies to the nursery once the NICU team
made sure everything was okay. "Skin to skin" in the OR is a relatively new
thing and requires a second Labor and Delivery RN to come in to the OR and
make sure the baby is safe."

What do you think? Is the charge ridiculous or acceptable? Join in on the
