 you said the Mother had a coat on.  That can be considered child abuse/ neglect .

No wonder the baby was crying

@chrystaltree   When DH and I brought our DD home almost 53 years ago I got in the car, a nurse handed me the baby, said goodbye and good luck and off we went......me holding her.

 

Yikes.

That's the way it's done here.  Partly because legally a patient must be escorted out after discharge.  The carseat situation is also a consideration.  My older daughter's discharge was held up for a few minutes because her husband didn't install it properly.  The nurse took it out.  Installed it properly and then took it out again and watched while he did it.

@chrystaltree  I know a patient can't walk out unescorted but there was no car seat requirement way back then. It was here is your brandy new child, off you go. Must be child safety in cars was not a factor a 1/2 century ago.

I can understand that some people are facing hardships so we we shouldn't judge them but why on earth couldn't one of the 2 adults sacrifice their coat to wrap the baby in to keep warm????

It IS a different world today.  I don't think being warm in winter time would be any different, especially for a tiny baby.  Bless that child.

There is nothing in Costco that would require me to shop with a newborn baby. 

When I had my first baby, it was normal to stay in the hospital for five days. If there were no complications.

@PJinIA Because people aren't all raised alike.  Because we are a nation of many standards and no standards.  

 

We worry so much about education, yet it is so lacking sometimes in how to live.  

 

My heart breaks for people doomed to flounder through life because they didn't have anybody to teach them any better.
