old school versus new school of having baby at Cardinal Santos Medical Hospital

     Last may 5,2016 my daughter ob-gyn ask her to go check in at cardinal when she was not yet in labor. Went to the delivery room for check up and later ask me and my son in law to book a room.

     Next day they wheel her again to the delivery room to induce labor which took a whole day, which my son in law keep asking the nurse staff what's gooing on, which they gave him a number that cannot be connected to the delivery room. Since I still have some work to do I make a call and updated him. When I drop by the hospital around 6pm (since I commute by bus to the hospital) I went straight to the delivery room and told them that that the husband is worried so they said that they allowed him to go in.

     And around 8:30pm they decided to make a C section because of baby position.  The only problem with Cardinal Santos believe in breastfeeding they don't sto k some formula in their pharmacy for mother who has C section. Since I left the hospital almost 10 pm. My son in law whomis a foreigner is not acquainted with the place has to google to dind mercury drug store nearby and he cannot leave anything valuable in the room since my daughter has been stolen a phone in cardinal Santos when she was taking care of her eldest sister there. What if all drug store are close will they let the baby go hungry? Theyneven use a cup to feed the baby.

     When the baby was born I told the people at the delivery room that we wanted the baby to circumcise so that he will not feel the pain when he grow up. For 3 day they ignore it. since all my son were circumcise when they were born. The only thing lacking is that they say it straight to my face that they don't believe in doing so, whi h is against the Department of Health to have your kids to be circumcise to have a clean penis,

      So what we know in the past of waiting to have either labor pain or your water broken then we should rush to the hospital. Or is about money? Not even stocking some small can of formula milk in the pharmacy since not all birth are natural will they leave the baby hungry until the anasthesia worn off from the mother then feed the baby? Are they planning to make extra charges in the future to have the kid circcumcise? since the baby skin is soft it's much easier to cut and since the baby is still in the hospital they can take care of the wound.

     So parent if you know your baby is a boy and you plan to have them circumcise find another hospital. Find a hospital where there are nearby drugstore in case you need to buy the baby formula in the middle of the night. And also a reminder grandparents are not allow to see the baby at Cardinal Santos including the delivery. So if the husband is away poor wife and baby have to wait until they are wheel to their room
