[ozmidwifery] rooming in

[islips]

I wonder if someone can help me put together some stats regarding 'rooming in' . I work at a large private hospital in Perth . We recently closed our night nursery and implemented a 'rooming in policy'. This has worked very well in enhancing BF , mothercrafting etc. However due to 3 mothers and 3 obs complaining it looks as though we will have to change the policy. we have a meeting on tuesday and i would like to present some current research to the medical profession regarding the benefits of rooming in. thanks zoe ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Murphy To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2005 7:28 AM Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] question Jenny, could you give us the reference please?  Thanks, MM   “, one study demonstrated zero oxygen, because there is no longer any utero-placental circulation.
