That's how my hospital is. I love the fact that the baby never leaves your side.
This is what "rooming in" or "baby friendly" is. It is great if you have a partner who can be with you 24 hours a day. The big flaw in it is if you have a partner who can't be with you. There is no back up at these hospitals. If you had a c section and are heavily medicated the nurses do not take your baby or come help change diapers even if you don't have a partner or your partner is sick or whatever happened.
I have heard of "baby friendly" before, but I didn't know that some hospitals don't even have a nursery! I thought it was just encouraged to keep the baby with you. I'll have to look into this, I appreciate the option of the nursery if the baby is awake and I'm exhausted! I kind of feel like a jerk for feeling that way but I remember how tired I was last time, and the extra rest before going home and being on your own is nice.
