From the article: > All three days, the nurses are reluctant to hand over the baby, saying my actions are irresponsible. > Every shift change, two nurses stand by my bed and inform another two nurses of my status as a combative patient. “This woman tested positive for methamphetamine,” This does not strike me as very professional. The medical staff should have considered the possibility of a false positive, and given the mother the benefit of the doubt when she said she wasn't taking methamphetamine. Telling the mother that she shouldn't breastfeed and that CPS have been called, while not stopping her from breastfeeding (presumably they have no legal power) is the worst of both worlds: increase stress/worry (which is something the child would pick up on), draw everyone's focus away from the actual birth and the child, while simultaneously allowing her to potentially pass this, presumably harmful, drug to the child. Madness.
