Rooming-in is the practice followed in hospitals and nursing homes where the baby's crib is kept by the side of the mother's bed.[1] This arrangement gives an opportunity for the parents to know their baby.[2] The bond between the parent and the child is well established in roomed-in babies. There is a better chance of success with breast-feeding in roomed-in babies.[3] Parents do not have the fear of baby-switching while roomed-in. Rooming-in is one of the components of baby-friendly hospitals, devised by WHO.[4]
