Abstract
Session presented on Sunday, September 18, 2016:
The purpose of this study was to examine mother-infant separation after birth as a means to understand the 'rooming-in' practices at the study facility. Rooming-in is defined as care of the mother-infant dyad with minimal separation. To obtain a Baby Friendly Hospital designation a birthing facility must provide 'rooming-in' for all mother-infant dyads, unless separation is medically necessary.
