Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the 1950s and 1960s, it was common hospital practice in the United States to immediately separate mothers and infants after birth, with the baby being taken to the nursery and cared for by hospital staff. This practice was often based on concerns about infection and hygiene, as well as a desire to establish feeding schedules and ensure proper medical monitoring for both mother and baby. It wasn't until the late 1960s and early 1970s that efforts began to promote the benefits of early mother-child bonding and keeping mothers and infants together as much as possible after birth.
