What's with this room of random babies? Mine didn't leave my room for the entire stay. Must be a public maternity ward; taking a gamble on whether you take home the right baby. Those ankle bracelets always fall off.
This footage is fake news. I had my babies in a public hospital in Australia and they never left my or my husband’s side after they were born, and were certainly never paraded around alongside other newborns like this. Even when they were in the NICU they remained in one spot the whole time they were there and weren’t wheeled around for photo ops.
This is probably old stock footage. By state law bassinets can’t be that close. The only time we ever did that in the nursery is when media asked for a close up shot of several babies for a news segment. We got permission to bring babies to the nursery or used a cohort of babies in the nursery already for various reasons (mother’s request). Over the past 10 years, rooming in was encouraged for safety and for breastfeeding mothers to respond quickly to hunger cues. This pic most likely was old stock film.
Our kids never left our room either and we was young 24 years ago we just didn't trust them switching our kids out
