Hospital Crosses Line - Blog Entry

21 Apr 2007 06:37 AM

Apparently some people have never heard about a Code Pink, where the alarm in the entire hospital system goes off when a newborn has been removed from the Mother-Baby unit. A large majority of hospital business stops as non-emergency, clerical, and professional staff all go to search the entire hospital for a missing baby.

New parents are instructed in the use of the baby alarm system.

Parents or other family members are not allowed to simply decide it's time to take a newborn baby out of the hospital and leave without safety procedures occuring.

I have not read this particular article.

Had the proper procedures to discharge a newborn been followed, baby would not have been considered abducted by a man.

Most fathers are very capable of caring for a newborn.

How is a mother supposed to bond with her newborn, if the father has decided to remove the newborn from the hospital?

If the mother is not ready medically for discharge after having major surgery, a c-section, she still needs that bonding time with her newborn. Pretty difficult to BF a newborn, if the father has removed baby.

I think there are many more details about this story that need to be shared.

Your family is definitely blessed with a lot of love.

You're right about being helpful to others....what goes around comes around.

Maybe Meme was ill?

Would she have allowed you to take her car keys to get the jumper cables, and to return them when Johnny was done?

Maybe she was just having a really bad day and could not handle one more issue or concern.

Did Johnny get his car jumped?

The Sneaky Mama and Her Oatmeal - Blog Entry

We always had hot cereal for breakfast frequently in the wintertime, when I was growing up. Oatmeal, Farina, Cream of Wheat, and my very, very favorite: Cocoa Wheats.

One of my sisters in WI, during the coldest winter months, prepares hot cereal the night before in her crockpot and it would be ready to eat early the next morning......from the earliest risers to the late sleepers to enjoy.

Thanks for sharing, Sneaky!

I am thinking about it and it is causing me great angst. Easter is in 2 weeks.

You could just wait until FALL cleaning!

Or hire a service to do it.

Sad, sad, sad because it's all about the $$$$.....not the love of the baby girl.

Who will love this little baby girl like a mother would?

Kori, thank you for sharing your excellent 'common-sense' approach to parenting.

My other favorite line, "If you can't get along with your brother/sister, you won't be able to get along with anybody in real life."

Food for thought!

Very interesting verses you've shared, MJ, and very scarey too.

My Own Theories on Baby Memories - Blog Entry

I have to agree with you.

DS#2 at birth was put in the warmer before I got to actually see or hold him. The nurse was cleaning him up, giving him oxygen and the doc was working on me.

I started talking and DS#2 not even 5 minutes old, starts looking all over the room, searching for the source of my voice. He knew my voice, but had not yet seen my face!

Yes, babies do learn in the womb.

Thank you for sharing your expert scientific observations, Valerie!

Oy, I Overdid It - Recovering from Surgery - Blog Entry

Heather, you are overdoing it waaaaaay toooooo much!

Why didn't family pick you up from school or get yourself a taxi? I have to agree with Lisa, slow down. There is a reason a 15 minute shower makes you sleep afterwards for 2 hours.

We're all rooting for you to heal quickly, but you have to do your part by resting.
