Which of the following is NOT TRUE about "rooming-in," or keeping mom and baby together rather than having baby be cared for in a hospital nursery?
Explanation
Answer: D - Most modern hospitals encourage a mom to keep her baby with her - some have even eliminated their central nursery. Research shows that mothers who room-in learn their babies' cues more easily, respond more quickly, and get more rest. Babies typically cry less, and because their mothers are responsive, when they do cry it doesn't last as long. When babies room-in, mothers can catch very early hunger cues, which means baby gets to the breast more often, which in turn means mom's milk comes in sooner.
