It is clear that the rights of children do not disappear when they enter a hospital, and they must be accompanied by their parents at all times. If the hospitalized is a nursing baby, the dependence of his mother is even greater, so it is important that she is always by his side.
But often fatigue causes parents to have to go home (hopefully, if it is close), to a relative's house or even to a hotel to rest. That is why initiatives such as "foster homes" of relatives of sick children we like so much. And also this idea that has been launched in a hospital in Seville.
Specifically, it is the Virgin Macarena hospital in Seville that in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit will soon open the hospitalization wing D, to locate in it a "mothers hotel", which offers a permanent stay for the rest of mothers with hospitalized nursing babies, thus facilitating quick and permanent access to your child.
The distance from the place of residence of the mother or economic difficulties will be reasons to enjoy these stays near their babies, and thus not interfere with breastfeeding by facilitating continuous contact with the baby.
The room (with three beds, living room, fridge ...) has everything necessary for mothers to feel "at home" (if possible) and also the health staff will be available to help them and answer all your questions . It is estimated that mothers who make use of this stay will remain in the hospital for four to six days.
This initiative is in line with the Humanization Project of the Perinatal Care of the Ministry of Equality, Health and Social Policies that is part of the Decree of the Hospitalized Child and the Initiative for the Humanization of Birth and Lactation Assistance (IHAN) launched by WHO and UNICEF.
We hope that this kind of "hotel" inside the hospital for mothers of hospitalized babies allow them to spend more time together and the mother is better able to go through this situation that alone is already so difficult.
