Baby taken away to nursery

[Frenchy]

But sincerely, if you can choose between Canossa and Matilda, take Matilda !

Can I just add that I worked for a very lovely couple who had their baby at the Sanatorium and the nurses were quite keen to keep the baby in the nursery for the first few hours. I got a little protective of the mum because I was there to help her get the breastfeeding started on the right track and enjoy those precious moments, I encouraged the father to demand that they bring the baby back unless there was a specific medical reason why the baby should not be with her parents and, in which case, could they inform the parents of the babys condition! This done, the baby was brought back very quickly and the family was reunited for many hours of much needed cuddles! Why I say this is because if you have the support from your husband/family then they can be there to back you up when you might be feeling a little tired and tell the staff that you want your baby with you. After all, he/she is YOUR baby not the hospitals!

Best of luck at such a lovely, joyful time

Just to add, at Matilda, it doesn't matter which class ward you're in. You are entitled to keep your baby with you throughout your entire stay 24/7. I don't think other private hospitals allow you to do that in a shared ward.

Question about Adventist (Tsuen Wan): What are their policies concerning nursery and rooming in?

I gave birth recently at the Prince of Wales. There policy is to room in - day and night where possible though the first night my baby stayed in the nursery and was brought in for feeding. These are all shared wards of course.
