One of the objections to only keeping moms and babies 48 hrs is that certain heart defects show up later than 48 hours. If everyone would follow AAP guidelines (see baby within 48-72 hours after discharge) it would help in many ways. Insurance is usually the issue. Baby isn't put into insurance system quickly enough. Peds should just expect to include a free office visit in conjunction with what they are paid to see baby in hospital.
