Re: [ozmidwifery] rooming in

[Sonja & Barry]

What are they complaining about?  The only ones who I think could complain are those very few women giving their baby up for adoption.  Don't these women want their babies?  I am very confused.  I would also bet they are the ones begging for an induction from about 30weeks.  However, I  thought all hospitals had rooming in these days.

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.
