What does this mean at your hospital? Will the fragile patient and newborn be transported to Post Partum Unit. Will a P/P Nurse get a couplet along with the 3 other couplet currently in nurses care? THIS HAS ALL BEEN DONE PRIOR TO TRANSPORT mom and infant....

Transition is usualy 4 hrs...Who takes care of the other 6 patients while this is going on? Training for this? Who wants to do this? Search other units that need help, maybe trauma/dram unit. Bring yourself out of the woodwork here, many comments are here, with nurses that want to do this and they should move their happy a.. to L&D to recover the patients, not move them to a lesser care area. Sure we hear care is available, unless you have worked outside L&D and try to get help, FORGET that.. BYE...

I read your question three times and I really have no idea what you are asking.

Same here. "Baby Friendly" is a UNICEF/WHO initiative to increase breastfeeding success. It involves putting mother and baby together as soon as possible after birth, "rooming in", and strict regulations on the use of artificial milks. Now what did you want to know?
