Exclusive rooming in

[BETSRN]

I would like to see us encourage more exclusive rooming in. While I know there are sitautions that make this impossible, I would like to hear from some of you that do practice this and do NOT have a well baby nursery. How did you get the staff to buy into this? Thanks, guys!:chuckle

I feel good to know I am not alone in wanting to sleep the first night. I know when I had my dtr/2 I had a toddler at home and hubby could not be off to help me at home. I was in one night and back home, little sleep LOL. I remember crying too. Such is life.
