Does anyone know how the OB nurses are at this hospital when it comes to car seat information? I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd ask just in case. My cousin is on bed rest at this hospital with identical twins that will be born on July 28th (at 34 wks) if they don't try to come earlier. We bought her 2 Keyfit 30s that she has now found out don't fit in her Kolcraft double stroller. I even asked before getting the seats if she tried them in this stroller and they said they did (ugh!). Anywho, instead of getting a new stroller, they want to get new car seats and I tried telling them that there will only be a few that will properly fit them since they'll be on the smaller side (even though they'll be at least 5.5lbs before being discharged). Her mom was telling me that they know all of this and that the nurses will check the babies to make sure they fit in their seats yada yada. We all know that most nurses don't know much about car seat safety and many times babies leave the hospital improperly harnessed and such. I'm REALLY hoping these nurses know what they are talking about because they don't seem to care to take my advice (since their nurses know it all apparently). Does anyone know if there is a tech that works there or a tech in Jacksonville that I can recommend to her? This is someone who has already vocalized, when she was about 3 months pregnant, that she was not going to ERF and that she has never done it with any of her "children" (she's a social worker). HELP!!!
