So do cars! But many folks of the same folks who now consider cars regressive also consider baby drawers and bottle feeding to be regressive.

  But baby drawers were created precisely to decrease bottle feeding and encourage breastfeeding (and did).

  Sorry, but who are these folks? I mean I'm sure that some people think this but I don't see how you can connect these two together to make this point.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. The baby-in-a-drawer sounds like a win for the mother, the baby, and the care physicians.

  People aren't reading it, but it's amusing that the solution was designed around reducing the workload on the nurses, etc (now they just leave the baby in the room with mom in a rolling bassinet that the nurses check on/can roll out when necessary).

    Not so surprising for the time, since things like heart monitors and pulse/ox didn’t exist, so they'd keep all the newborns in a communal nursery with nurses literally watching over them 24 hours a day.
