Stuck in the Hospital - Grumpy Edition

[Ex-California]

2 days in this hospital, and I'm ready to gas SJWs.

Apparently, the maternity ward is "baby friendly", which means that they really don't want you to use the nursery, but you can if you really need to. Fine whatever. Where the fuck is the "baby hostile" hospital?

Also, they are "breast friendly", which means they refuse to hand out pacifiers if you are breast feeding your kids. So you want me to get on the road at 2am and buy pacifiers from CVS when my twins are going apeshit, rather than just handing me one across the fucking desk? How does that help your patient or the kid?

At least have the decency to call yourself "sleep hostile".

Just in the 3 years between my first and the second the hospital changed. For the 1st one it seemed like he was in the nursery all the time while my wife was recovering from her C section, while the 2nd one we might have well just been at home.

I can't remember the pacifier thing though

Same. It's been 3 years since my first. We got a binkie immediately, and the nursery was encouraged. I also didn't have to pass a metal detector to get in.

Metal detector? Jesus

Thanks Obama

Not the maternity ward itself - they lock the front doors after 7, and I have to come in through the ER entrance. Which has a metal detector and security guards for some reason.

Actually, infant kidnapping is a serious thing...

Grats on the boys, time to get the tubes tied one way or another, too many babies leads to insanity

Yup, when the little Kazlet was born, they Lo-Jack'ed her with an ankle bracelet and the wife and I both had wristbands that we needed to get into the maternity ward without stopping at the Nurse's station for ID, etc. If the baby went outside of the maternity ward without the nurses knowing/doing something, alarms would go off and the whole hospital would slam into lockdown.

We have that too, in the maternity ward. It's just weird that the rest of the hospital can only be accessed through a metal detector after 7.

Already done. This is all the babies I could ever handle.

Surprised it's only after 7.

Oh, also the "nipple friendly" hospital, the reason for it is that latching onto a mother's breast is important, they want the baby to attempt that before giving the baby a bottle or rubber nipple.

You could have insisted if you didn't already to forgo that, but most hospitals don't care. Also on a side note, my son was rubber nipple and bottle only because he was born a month early, and he was in the NICU with wet lung. So, yeah...

Good you got one to them though, hospitals are that though, hospitals, they don't always think before they do though.
