A tech Shouldn be with your baby like that anyway. Should be either an on call pediatrician, perhaps an on gyn, or nurse

Not true at all. Back when I worked at Woman's the techs would bring the babies back and forth all the time to the nursery. Totally within their job responsibilities. Many times the nurses may be busy doing actual nursing stuff so they delegate other things to the techs. The parents should be taught to look for specially colored badges on anyone handling the baby though(each hospital is different...most I worked at it was pink...means you are approved staff allowed to transport babies/children).


As for the OP...not something worth suing over. However, you are well within your rights as a patient/parent to ask to speak to that tech's supervisor and report her just trying to remove something from the baby's crib like that.
