Coochie coochie coo!

In the latest development in improving human rights, the Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax has decided that cooing at new born babies is a breach of privacy and has been banned.

Don't kids get little enough attention and love these days with both thier parents having to work and being stuffed in a creche all day, before dumping them in school for the teachers to look after? Cooing is a natural reaction so how can it be bad for the child's development? From a hygiene perspective I can understand, but this privacy rights issue is another case of political correctness run amoc.
