We recently had a mom who kept delaying the bath where I work, I saw no problem with it but some of the other nurses were freaked out and finally the clinical director of our unit came and got the baby and bathed him because mom was a beta strep carrier, she was treated in labor with antibiotics . Mom "consented" reluctantly, I felt bad for her. Tried to talk to the director but she was afraid with mom being a b strep carrier that baby had a greater chance of getting it the longer the bath was delayed. I don't have any info on this, do any of you? Thanks!
