Rooming-in
Rooming-in
Rooming-in (pronunciation: /ˈruːmɪŋ ɪn/) is a practice in hospitals where newborn babies stay in the same room as their mothers instead of a nursery after birth. This practice is believed to promote bonding between the mother and the newborn, facilitate breastfeeding, and help the mother to better understand the baby's cues.
Etymology
