Who is holding the baby?
A survey of neonatal units has been undertaken to establish how many maternity units have to separate mothers from their well, low birthweight babies or low dependency special care babies. The study also looked at some differences in the hospitals practising transitional care, or shared care with mother, and a group of maternity wards looking after babies down to 1.8 kg on normal maternity wards.
