Security of the child seemed to be an important thing to the hospital. The child was taken out of our sight only once (to check her [[wikipedia:Meconium|meconium]]) but they were still quite careful. The security measures were:

# A radio tag on her ankle that would shut off elevators on the floor and fire an alarm when she passed any of the doors exiting the ward
# A printed tag with a number that matched tags on our wrists
# A teddy bear icon on people with badges who were allowed to handle a child

According to a nurse who had been there a few years she'd never seen any real trouble with these, so I must assume that this is standard in the US. I get why they did these things [[wikipedia:Babies switched at birth#21st_century|since baby mixups do occur even today]] though the examples there from the last decade are from El Salvador, India, and the Philippines.
