Recently we had a lady that required a magnesium suphate infusion post birth for svere PIH. While her BP stabilised, her reflexes were quite brisk but her observations stable. She was admitted to our high dependency unit under the care of a midwife. Fornutely we were able to have the father and baby close by,and breastfeeding was established early, infact the baby was fully breast fed from birth and escaped any complimentary feeds. We were berated(by nursing admin.) for having the baby with the mother during this time, stating that this will overstimulate the mother worsening her condition.We put forward our point of view that it would have been more stressful for the mother to have seperated her from her baby. I would be interested in what your veiws are in this situation. 'Steph' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
