Naomi,
 
    In the U.S., I could say it in one word:   LIABILITY.  Everyone is 
worried that if there is something  physically wrong with the baby that goes 
undetected or has not been diagnosed  for two days--then the medical professional is 
liable, and thus open for a law  suit.

So  here's my question. Zoo keepers know that Moms and babies need a  
few  DAYS to bond before attempting an examination of the baby. How  
come  providers for humans haven't figured that out yet? We can't even   
give the dyad a few hours.
