Traditional postpartum care?

[eifan115]

Does anyone here work in a facility that still does traditional postpartum care where mom and baby are cared for by nursery and postpartum nurses separately? I know that couplet nursing is becoming more the way to go but I am interested in hearing from those that still use the traditional model.

Thanks!

Infection rates are not going to increase IF proper hand hygiene is used between patients and as recommended! We do couplets and post op GYNs and our infection rates are not any higher than the hospitals wherein their GYN patients are on a separate floor.
