Bringing treats/gifts for nurses? - Page 2

[FoxintheSnow]

I have never even considered before that I should bring something for the nurses. This is kinda blowing my mind. The L&D unit is really close to my hospital's awesome cafeteria and it's a pretty slow unit (6 rooms and there's rarely more than 2 rooms full) so I figured they could just get whatever they wanted. I'll have to think about this.

Honestly though- I'd MUCH rather have a personal, well-thought out note/card. I love to see notes that thank the whole department and "the great nursing staff", but notes that say "Thanks Jennifer for the fabulous labor support/ breastfeeding help/ whatever" really mean a lot to me! One mom sent a card thanking me for giving her "the real scoop on the pain meds" and credited me for helping her have the birth she wanted- that was way better than a cookie!
