When. lo was born she had a small scrape on her forehead from one of the instruments. Everytime they brought her back from testing or the nursery I would immediately look for the scrape to make sure they brought us the right baby! DH thought I was crazy haha.</p> <p>One of the baby alarms went off when I was at the hospital. They called it a code pink. Two nurses came into my room to make sure we had LO with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-251151 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 16:30:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 251151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: ugh, I remember hearing about that on the news.

I couldn't do that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250992 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 14:03:24 +0000 mediagirl 250992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I never let her out of my sight while we were there! Well, one time I did - but my husband was with her - for the hearing test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250987 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:58:10 +0000 MamaG 250987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were warned against this sort of thing in one of our birthing classes. It was also recommended to generally keep yourself between the baby and the door.</p> <p>We also had baby lo-jack and were told about "code pink". they had lines on the floor that clearly marked where you shouldn't cross with a baby. I didn't notice these until we were out walking the halls with the baby. We were also only allowed to take the baby out of the room in the hospital bassinet. We couldn't carry her for a walk.</p> <p>Our hospital kept things pretty secure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250950 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:26:01 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 250950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh. My mom worked at a hospital and someone tried to snatch a baby. They didn't make it out though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250938 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:16:37 +0000 Honeybee 250938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we had DS, our room was right next to one of the exits. Every time they took him out of the room (which was a lot, since he had jaundice and had to have a couple blood tests a day), they'd accidentally set the alarm off. Once, while I was in the shower, the alarm went went off. I came running out in the hall in my towel to find out one of the nurses had come into my room and taken DS for a blood test without notifying me. :/ Scariest moment of my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250921 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 13:03:21 +0000 littlebug 250921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Sometimes the alarm will go off because the baby's arm is, like, under mom's arm or something. The signal gets blocked. We had a false alarm like that once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250915 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:59:26 +0000 Andrea 250915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never leave my baby alone.

Our hospital does the electronic alarm chips in our hospital bracelets too...or at least it's in the baby's, I'm not sure about me and DH's (except that we'll both have a bracelet as well). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250849 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:21:40 +0000 autumnlove 250849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sad! DH was doing his residency a few years ago when there was a child abduction code at the hospital. Everyone(staff, patients)stood still until security searched them and their belongings! He said security guards checked his lunch cooler bag for the missing baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250838 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:16:17 +0000 regberadaisy 250838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Too many movies &amp; Asian sitcoms! hahha I would do SO much more than slap a B...</p> <p>@eiko2010: My hospital took it very seriously as well. Matching bands with geo tracking etc. If the bands were taken off the entire ward shuts down immediately etc. But none of that eased my mind... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250832 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:10:14 +0000 stargal 250832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow crazy, our hospital made the babies wear little alarms on their ankles (hhaa think like house arrest monitors) so if they were to ever get taken, they wouldnt make it out of hte L&amp;D floor bc teh alarm would go off. i always wondered if they had an incident at the hospital or if they were just playing it safe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250824 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:03:49 +0000 MamaMoose 250824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I would absolutely slap a B. I know no one would be successful with this at my hospital because I used to volunteer there so I know how hard core their alarm system is. But I would go crazy on someone for trying!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250819 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 12:01:50 +0000 DillonLion 250819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hospital tags all the babies with an electronic band so no one can walk out with them without setting off an alarm.</p> <p>ETA: I guess this baby had the same thing.

We do drills at least 3x a year for this kid of situation - employees have to go make sure that every single entrance, exit, stairwell, and elevator is blocked and no one gets in or out of the hospital without having their bags/person checked until the "baby" is found. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250784 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:37:22 +0000 chopsuey 250784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously. You know what I think about from time to time though..? This is terrible and sorry for bringing it up..</p> <p>But years ago I read about a psycho woman breaking into someone's house and snatching a baby from her mom's womb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250781 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:34:51 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 250781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend just told me about this - how scary!

I was also very wary of someone trying to take my baby because just around the time i had my baby there was a story of a lady that was shot right outside her pediatricians office and her 3 day old baby was snatched.

I would freak if someone tried to steal my LO... -.- I'd press charges and might even slap a B. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-dont-leave-your-lo-alone-in-your-room-when-you-take-a-shower-at-the-hospital#post-250767 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 11:29:03 +0000 regberadaisy 250767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my god! I was so afraid of baby mix ups and snatches at the hospital I would never leave her alone! When she came back from the nursery from shots etc I looked her over to make sure she was MY baby!
