That headline made me laugh more than it should have.

While funny, newborns are hardly fetuses. Might as well said...

Researchers find that the zygote-frightening room frightens the zygote.
Researchers find that the ootcyte-frightening room frightens the ootcyte.
Researchers find that the spermatozoon-frightening room frightens the spermatozoon.

That's one of the fun things about banging pregnant chicks.
I'm pretty sure the angry looking eyebrow on my cock has scared the crap out of a fetus, or two.

Okay. Just so we're clear.

I can't believe hospitals still treat women like cows and take the young away from them, like in a factory farm. And every so often, there's a baby mixup. Hey geniuses, how about take care of two things at once: leave the baby with the mother, it probably does wonders for its future health and there won't be any baby mixups either. duh.

The good ones don't. As soon as my son was born he was weighed and then given to me (they had to clean my wife up/etc.). Then she got him. He never left her side until we left the hospital two days later.

The only babies going into nursery type environments nowadays are those in the NICU and even there they have been moving to private rooms at the better hospitals (so that the family can stay with the baby). Again though this is only in areas that are well funded.

When I gave birth, the woman assisting me only took my kid to the edge of the bed (well within reach) to do her exam and measurements. Then she handed him back. He never left my sight or the room. And that didn't even happen until about 20 -30 minutes after the birth because once he was born and clearly breathing without difficulty, she left the room so that the family could start bonding. In fact, she only came back as soon as she did was because we told her we'd like to be on our way soon. We were home less than 3 hours after the birth so we could all actually rest. No trauma, tada!

There are other ways to do things and a woman just has to find a facility that will let her do what she wants. Hint: A hospital probably isn't your best bet if you actually want to be left alone with your kid after its born. Or left alone ever, really. If you're at a hospital, they assume you're broken or sick and that they need to fix you. They won't leave until you're fixed. If you're not sick, why would you go to a hospital?

haemaker: While funny, newborns are hardly fetuses.

Though, human newborns retain fetal growth rates for some time after birth. Baby's brain needs to get full-sized outside of mommy's tummy or OUCH when baby comes through.

It's always seemed odd to me that, in the West, once the baby has been cord cut and checked by the midwife (UK), why simply putting it's naked body on the naked mum is seen as outrageous and unnatural, when clearly it is the most natural place to put a new infant.

The separation of babies from their mothers is a very modern thing and has no scientific support what-so-ever. My wife and I went through the SIDS studies (she is a medical provider, and we both have had extensive classes in statistical methods) and we were not able to find any conclusive evidence of SIDS being convincingly associated with co-sleeping, particularly when you take into account international data.

It is largely Western industrialized countries that have a small blip in SIDS deaths with very flimsy correlations with co-sleeping.

We co-sleep with our daughter and are glad we did so. She is described as being one of the most happy children by just about everyone that has spent significant time with her. Not to say she doesn't ever fuss or anything, but she is very friendly, doesn't display the usual shyness at her age, and just doesn't seem to get upset about much.

I think the co-sleeping has a lot more to do with other variables that maybe aren't being measured or measured correctly.

When my son was born, we told the midwife (hospital midwife) ahead of time that we'd like to delay all the tests and measurements for an hour after the birth, and she was fine with that. The baby popped out, cried, and was put right on my stomach, The midwife wrapped us both up in a big blanket and we had that time just to examine him and cuddle him right away, which was lovely. Our entire hospital stay, he never left our room and I was never further from him than the bathroom. I wish more doctors and hospitals did things that way.
