I never thought or knew to do that but I suppose it can't hurt?

I was planning on it, but only because my husband spent a few days in the hospital a couple of years back and his father sent over a huuuuge basket of goodies for the nurses/phlebotomists/doctors. They were all excited and a lot of the time they were so busy and being able to grab a granola bar was their lunch for the day. Quite a few of them spent a lot of time hanging out with us, and it just made for a nice stay.
I figured it couldn't hurt to have people remember me while I'm there.

I posted this in the spinoff... but we had my in-laws bring bagels with them when they came to meet the baby. We had a scheduled c section so it was easy to plan (including printing out a map to the bagel shop - they are too old for google maps, LOL!).

I worked in L&D and LOVED it when patients would get us treats. It was usually something like bagels or donuts, sometimes pizza. As you said, often there is no time to eat anything so it is a much appreciated gift, not just for L&D but any time. All of our nurses were wonderful (okay, one exception) but no one thanked us for the bagels! I asked one and she said they were enjoyed.

I think the mean ones just tend to be mean or don't handle stress well. I don't think it has anything to do with baked goods at all.

I offered cupcakes to hospital staff because it was a sign of appreciation though, not bribery! bribery for what? It's a hospital, I'm not there like it's a hotel room and I'm on vacation or anything.

Labor happened so fast I didn't even think about bringing anything. I brought them goodies about a month after he was born since my pediatrician is right next to them. They were so shocked to have goodies dropped off, and I wanted to show my appreciation for how great they were.

I'm thinking I'm going to. Hubby and I are going to see if we can 'request' the nurses we had when we were induced because they were wonderful and we want them to be there when something happy happens.
