    The idea that US hospitals require a 2nd RN if a mom holds her baby instead of putting in nursery strikes me as bizarre. OBs, is this true?https://twitter.com/sarahkliff/status/783320985218981889 …

    A woman had a baby. Then her hospital charged her $39.35 to hold it. http://www.vox.com/2016/10/4/13160624/medical-bills-birth-delivery?utm_campaign=sarahkliff&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter … pic.twitter.com/TGRaIApzPh

        @sarahkliff is the idea that a mom, b/c c-section, can't hold her baby post-partum acceptable? #notdefendingthecharge

        this is crazy. But I think you should ask L & D RNs, they can give you the scoop.

        3) @Atul_Gawande - I am a former L&D RN and CNM. I think the administration of that hospital MUST remove that fee. Increase staff levels

        2) @Atul_Gawande Babies can safely stay w/mom IF staffing allows. ??to charge for time with your own baby? I would NOT trust that facility!

        Patients under spinal #anesthesia can't hold a baby safely alone- spinals can get to >C7 ➡️ potential arm weakness.
