Can some of you who work in hospitals that have level 4 nurseries please
email me (and post to the list) your list of criteria for when baby has
to be separated from mom? Especially hospitals that have gone to
mother-baby care and rooming in. I am on a committee that is overseeing a
transition to mom-baby care and the initial list of criteria for
separation seemed rather inflexible. (or as the ped. rep. told us, "About
90% of our babies fall under this criteria."  i.e. every baby is sick
until proven otherwise!!!)

I have tried to do an archive search in case this has been covered before
but had no luck. I think we need examples from other teaching hospitals
that take high risk mothers and babies and offer rooming in or are Baby
Friendly, Family-Centered,...


Thanks!
