Yikes. We had to watch a video about the evils of baby shaking before leaving the hospital and sign a form saying that we'd taken it in.

The video was on The Newborn Channel. You have to pay $5/day at Roosevelt to get regular cable TV, but The Newborn Channel is free. Some useful info (how to install the car seat [you have to have one to leave the hospital], how to breastfeed, etc.), but lots of product placement too. What a playground of product placement this is! Goodie bags on leaving the hospital, goodie bags on first visit to pediatrician. And the stuff ain't cheap.
