I wasn't quite sure where to post this, but I was just wondering, when you have a baby at a hospital, you have your room, and you have your baby in a little wheelie crib thingi next to you, right......? Okay so why is it that I remember as a child a room with all the babies in their cribs in the hospital, and a window where visitors can look through? Do hospital nurseries exist? Or am I just remembering american movies and we dont have these in Australia?

I am of the opinion that my baby should stay with me the entire time, and not be wheeled off to a nursery with other babies at all... What is the reason for having the babies away from their mothers?

Sorry if this question is ridiculous, I am just curious as to whether I am going to sound unreasonable refusing to have my baby away from my bedside....?

Can anyone enlighten me on this subject? Cheers.
