So Lyla was born yesterday a little after 2 pm, and by 8 pm Rachel was holding her and hogging all of the baby time while the new parents sat there and politely acted like they didn't mind Rachel grabbing the kid for a few hours. In between birth and Rachel's smothering, Lyla was passed amongst doctors, nurses, her mom and dad, grandparents and friends, all within the first 6 hours of her life. Seems like entering the world would be traumatic enough, without being constantly shuffled amongst people with various degrees of baby-holding skill. To me, it would seem important to let the kid bond with the parents for a while.
So when Zia arrives we will of course let everyone hold him or her, but a 3 day waiting period seems reasonable, right?

No. That's not reasonable at all. Other aunts, uncles and grandparents, back me up here :)

I concur Sarah, 3 days holding period is not reasonable. If it takes you 5 days to buy a gun, it should take AT LEAST that to hold my kid. Thanks for the tip.
