A receipt showing the bill was posted by a user on Reddit, who added comments that suggested no complaints about the charge as he was more interested in the safe delivery of the child.

"During the C-section the nurse asked my wife if she would like to do skin to skin after the baby was born. Which of course anyone would say yes too. We just noticed it in the bill today."

"The nurse let me hold the baby on my wife's neck/chest. Even borrowed my camera to take a few pictures for us."

"Everyone involved in the process was great, and we had a positive experience. We just got a chuckle out of seeing that on the bill."

Explaining why such strange occurrences could happen, a delivery nurse had this to say:

"As a labor and delivery nurse, I can kind of explain this. I didn't know that hospitals charged for it, but doing 'skin to skin' in the operating room requires an additional staff member to be present just to watch the baby."

"We used to take all babies to the nursery once the NICU team made sure everything was okay. "

"Skin to skin in the OR is a relatively new thing and requires a second Labor and Delivery RN to come in to the OR and make sure the baby is safe", she said.
