It should not be charged at all IMHO. And it should be a right of the parents to hold their newborn in the moment they enter this world.

Do you have to pay to hold your newborn in the US? Land of the free indeed

Who charges? We just had our second and they didn't charge at all. Gave the nurses/midwives a chance to make more ready.....
And this was at Major CT Hospital.

OP was being sarcastic. “Skin-to-skin” contact with mum is the very first thing they do after child birth, and continue recommending for the entire stay.

Medical is probably the single most regulated industry in the US. The US landed at the worst possible system where the government mostly only pays for medical for old people (where the returns on expenditures are very low), but simultaneously interferes a lot with hospitals and insurance in ways that make the process very punishing for everyone.
You can get much better service for way less money if you avoid the red tape and do a home birth.

IYHO?! It's patently absurd to expect anything less
Edit: I'm agreeing with you but it seems absurd that it should have to be opinion!
