Baby Tip #9: It’s Cold in the Hospital
August 16, 2009
This tip may apply to our hospital only, but it’s worth taking it into account just in case your delivery quarter is an icebox. Our hospital was tolerable during the day, but at night, they teleport the facility to an undisclosed location in the middle of the siberian wilderness. And there aren’t enough blankets to go around. Pragya was cold, the baby was miserable, and each one of my exhales was creating snow. In the mean time all the nurses who are essentially doing laps at night between the nursery and the rooms in their hospital sweats were very comfortable. So if you’re like me and prefer to sleep in a balmy southern Mediteranean climate, pack a space heater and and extra blanket in your go to hospital bag. You’ll be warm you did.
