I just wanted to point out that this policy has probably been implemented to comply with the "baby friendly hospital" guidelines. One of the requirements is as follows:
"Step 7:
Practice rooming-in –
allow mothers and infants to remain together twenty-four hours a day.
?This step applies to all babies, regardless of feeding method.
GUIDELINE: The facility should provide rooming-in twenty-four hours a day as the standard for mother-baby care for healthy, full-term infants, regardless of feeding choice. When a mother requests that her baby be cared for in the nursery, the health care staff should explore the reasons for the request and should encourage and educate the mother about the advantages of having her infant stay with her in the same room twenty-four hours a day. If the mother still requests that the baby be cared for in the nursery, the process and informed decision should be documented. In addition, the medical and nursing staff should conduct newborn procedures at the mother’s bedside whenever possible, and should avoid frequent separations and/or absences of the newborn from the mother for more than an hour. If the baby is kept in the nursery for medical reasons, the mother should be provided access to feed her baby at any time."

I thought the same lol. Call me a cynic I guess.
I totally disagree. Think back to when our mothers had us and had to FIGHT to breastfeed. The standard was a drugged up birth, then they would whisk the baby away and formula feed them, unless the mother put up serious objections! Now, the care is so much better for mothers and babies, with rooming in and skin to skin right after birth.
Not saying you shouldn't have a choice to send your baby to the nursery (mine both went for about 2 hours on the night they were born so I could sleep a little), but the standard should be rooming in unless there is a need for the baby to be out of the room.
There shouldn't be a standard!!! It should be a CHOICE!!! Period!! I mean really - WHY must there always be people who continually push and push their choice as the RIGHT choice.
The fact that people came on this thread and just had to point out that sending babies to sleep in the nursey after they are born is wrong is just  to me.
Why can't people just do what is best for them and their child and let others do the same???
Why must it always be people posting links to studies that show x,y&z? As if to insuate that others don't know this information but still choose to do something different??
Even after reading these links - I would STILL send DS back to the nursery if I could rewind time. I will do it with DD when she arrives in a month! My children will NOT be detached from me because of this choice.
My DS is 3 & we co-slept with him from the start. He still co-sleeps with us. The only time he didn't was when I sent him to the nursery the first 48 hours of his life. I hardly think he is detached from either of us.

Ok so first the hospitals are trying to remove the choice of whether you want to BF and now they are trying to do away with your choice to decide whether you room in.
Next they are going to try remove the choice of you having the baby in the hospital?? I never had to deal with giving birth or making these choices but this is just inanse to me as a woman!!
Next will be "discouraging" the epidural. Because someone dictates that a drug free birth is somehow better and makes you more of a hero.
If you want to go there, a drug free birth (with no complications of course) is better. I got the epi both times, so I am not in any way judging it, but of course it is better for you and the baby to not get it. My friend had very serious complications from the epi and couldn't walk for weeks after and needed PT. When I got the epi the first time I almost needed an emergency c section because they administered it too quickly and the baby's heart rate dropped. It is in no way about being a hero.

I feel like handing out medals to all these heroes, just so I don't have to hear them talk about it anymore.
There would be the "Drug Free Birth" award (larger medals will be awarded based on the length of labor and degree of tearing)
The "My Baby Never Had a Drop of Formula" Award (larger medals will be awarded based on the number of foods you had to eliminate from your diet)
The "My Baby Never Had Food from a (gasp) Jar" Award. This medal comes in the shape of a Baby Bullet.
and let's not forget my personal favorite:
The "I Would Never Let my Baby CIO" Award. Most recipients will not be present to receive this medal because they fell asleep at their desks.

***I'm NOT talking about people who had complications or were too physically ill to lift their child, or the babies that have to go to NICU...*** BUT if you're having a baby, the last night of sleep you should expect to get is the sleep you get BEFORE the baby is born...
So if I have a labor that lasts hours and hours (possibly over days) and I'm so physically and mentally exhausted but my baby is not in the NICU, I don't deserve a few hours of uninterrupted sleep while the nurses do their job and watch her in the nursery? I'd rather my daughter get the care she deserves by someone who is actually mentally and physically capable. If I'm nursing, by all means they should bring her in if she needs a feeding but allowing my body and mind to rest for a few hours at night does not make me a bad mother.
To each her own but enough with the judging already. Some people choose to keep their babies in the room, some don't. All are good mothers and to insinuate otherwise is disgusting.
I didn't realize a nurses job was babysitting.
in.
Oh, so when I had surgery as a child and stayed at the hospital for 5 days, the nurses in pediatrics were "babysitting" me? No, they were doing what they were being paid to do, take care of me.
Likewise, a nurse who works in the maternity/neonatal ward IOC a hospital is doing their JOB by watching babies in the nursery; feeding them and changing diapers, etc.
My DD was in the hospital for a week in a burn unit when she was 15 months old. I stayed with her round the clock. When I had to use the bathroom I would ask the nurses to watch her for a minute so I didn't need to lock her in the crib cage and they would not do it. Their job is to treat the patient, and unless they were treating her they wouldn't watch her for a second. Not saying I agree with that extreme, but it is true.
But when a hospital has a nursery on the maternity ward there are nurses hired specifically to work in that nursery and care for the babies in there. So it most definitely IS their job to get them to bed, change them, and feed them as needed. That's why the nursery is there. 
Exactly!!!!!!!

You are just as bad when you judge these people. I am a mother who lives by 3 out of the 4, and I don't do it because I want a medal - I do it because that is what I think is best for my children.
I EBF both of my DDs. I pump 3x a day at work. I do it because I feel BM is best for my baby and there is nothing more important to me (including my job), so I make it work.
I make almost all of DD's food. I like to know the food is fresh and healthy. And I do feed them organic. Again, not because I want a medal, but because that is what I feel is best for my kids.
I don't let me baby CIO. It isn't for me. We cosleep. I get that that doesn't work for everyone, but I miss my kids while I am gone all day and I enjoy my time at night with them.
None of this is about recognition or being a hero - it's about doing what is right for you.

Let's face it, we all judge each other, it's human nature. My post was less about those actual parenting choices, and more about every holier-than-thou, condescending, obnoxious mom I've ever met who lords their choices over anyone else. These people do deserve a little mockery. Sorry to offend.

I am not - I'm not saying that if they have the option there is something wrong with it, my opinion is that I don't think it is a big deal if a hospital requires rooming in. It definitely seems to be the trend. My BFF had a baby a few weeks ago and her hospital did all of the testing after birth in the room. I would have loved it - I personally hated sending my babies off. Not judging anyone who doesn't feel that way - it's just my opinion.

Maybe but I didn't want to feel any pain.
Another one of my selfish, bad mother moves.
Right along with the wine and the enfamil.
Funny, my doctor offered me the epi before i even asked for it.
He must be a bad doctor too.
Bad mother- bad doctor.
No wonder I love that man so much!

Im sorry but that sounds like a ****** ass nurse.
I guess I am lucky that everytime my SS was in the hospital he had loving and nurturing nurses in addition to their aweome nusring skills. Bedside manners go a long way in a hospital.
It was all the nurses there. It was heartbreaking to put DD in the crib cage. Especially since I was pregnant with DD2 and was coping with a very serious burn on DD1's face, I was beyond emotional. DD1 had to have a feeding tube 24/7 - it was just terrible. And even with all that, they wouldn't ever watch her for a minute for me to run and pee!

What are your thoughts?
I don't care what anyones reasons are. You want to or don't want to. Your medically ok or not. What you choose to do with your baby is your business and your choice.
To any other moms who are posting anything judgemental...
To any other moms telling women what they SHOULD do...
To any other moms telling woman what they HAVE to do...
You haven't walked a mile in anyone elses shoes so STFU! You are not the be all and end all. We live in a world of free will who are you to pass judgement on another mothers choice. Who are you to say what a mother SHOULD or HAVE to do with their child. Who says your way is the RIGHT way??? Are you perfect? What makes you think that you have the right to do that to another woman?
A mothers job is HARD HARD WORK. The hardest job ever. AND when its your first I don't care who you are, how many babies you've been around, you are scared sh*tless because now its YOUR child. Its YOUR responsibility to keep them alive, figure out what to do, figure out the proper way to change them, change a diaper, bathe them, feed them, burp them, etc...
How about everyone has the right to their opinion and their choice. I respect what you choose no matter what is is. How about women supporting women? How about mothers supporting mothers? WE ALL KNOW HOW TOUGH THIS JOB CAN BE AT TIMES!
And 1 last thing... The women that judge others and tell people what to do... are usually miserable people who love to preach what people should do with their lives because they cant bear to fix what wrongs with their own!
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...

I thought the same lol. Call me a cynic I guess.
Even if this is a cost cutting procedure...it happens to be backed up by SCIENCE...and isn't that the problem with healthcare in our country???...it's so damn expensive...if something is good for baby & mommy AND cuts costs...even MORE reason to do it, IMO!! Let the nurses help the babies and mommies that are actually sick and need help!

I'm sorry but i think that is horrible and feel bad that not one nurse would allow you to go the bathroom. I know that must've been hard. I understand that it's policy of the hospital but still. I guess if they had to run off than it would be issue but idk, some nurses do stay and help take care of the kids. It just sucky when any child is in the hospital and they are defenseless and sick! :(
My SS has chronic asthma since he was a baby, so either my DH or his mom had to be there 24/7. And the times he didn't have a bathroom in his room the nurses would watch him while they went to the bathroom.

Re: What are your thoughts?
For everyone that is stating that this policy has been implemented as a cost cutting measure-
What is wrong with that???
There are posts on this site almost daily about how expensive medical care is and how much health insurance costs. Well one way to get that under control is to reduce unnecessary medical expenses.
With that said, I do believe that the policy is in place because a healthy baby should be with their mom right after birth. Your baby was in you for nine months, feeling warm, protected, hearing your heart beat - comforted- and yet you want just want to ship your baby off to the nursery right after? As if birth wasn't traumatic enough?
And this is coming from a c-section mommy. I hated missing out on my ODD first six hours of life because I was knocked out. No way in hell did I want her anywhere but near me when I was finally awake!

Who is saying that they're "shipping their baby off" right after birth? I'm pretty sure most are talking about for a few hours at night. Not the same thing.

I had a c-section and my baby was NEVER taken away from me.. bathed him, tested,, everything right in front of me.. i gave birth at 10:30AM.. he was brought to the nursery around 11:00pm and given back to me by 6:30am... i HARDLY THINK THAT I SHIPPED MY BABY OFF THE SECOND I GAVE BIRTH!!

For everyone that is stating that this policy has been implemented as a cost cutting measure-
What is wrong with that???
There are posts on this site almost daily about how expensive medical care is and how much health insurance costs. Well one way to get that under control is to reduce unnecessary medical expenses.
With that said, I do believe that the policy is in place because a healthy baby should be with their mom right after birth. Your baby was in you for nine months, feeling warm, protected, hearing your heart beat - comforted- and yet you want just want to ship your baby off to the nursery right after? As if birth wasn't traumatic enough?

I forgot how I 'shipped' my DS off to the nursery - whether it was via FedEx or UPS???? Gotta check my invoice....
NOWHERE do I see where anyone said they 'shipped' their child to the nursery RIGHT AFTER they gave birth!!! I gave birth to DS at 7 in the morning...I didn't 'ship' him to the nursery until after 11:30 THAT night. That was after being up for more than 36 hours straight at that poiint. He was back in my room by 6:30 the next morning.
Ughhh I just can't with all these holier than though posts.
