According to a post on the earlier thread, the temp. range that day was 59/35. The videos show this happened at 7:20 PM.
Maybe by "fresh air," Douglas Kennedy meant a solarium, or another floor of the hospital; or maybe he just wanted to take his child for a little walk around the hospital.
But in any case, it doesn't matter. The baby was already two days old at that point, not just-born-wet.
I took one of my newborns home from the hospital 2 hours after he was born. Forget about two days! I wasn't going to keep him in that noisy, smelly, germ-y hospital any longer than I had to. (And by the way, the weather was horrendous; but he arrived home just fine!)
The fact is, some nurses and other "medical professionals" are just too damn officious. Not all, just some. In this case, they knew the baby was in no danger whatsoever from his father. What THEY (the nurses) did -grabbing the infant out of his father's arms-- now that was dangerous.
I hate to agree with a Kennedy, but Douglas Kennedy is 100% right in this case.
