not paying attention to babies seems the norm here.

my wife and i recently had a baby and we were told that we needed to ask the nurses to keep the baby in our room during our stay at the hospital because the only time the locals had the baby with them was when they had company and wanted to show it off.  when the guests left, out went the baby.

and when i took our daughter to the nursery for a diaper change, it was always full, especially at night.  aside from our neighboors who where brits, no one else had their baby with them at night.

it was pretty sad.
