At our hospital its basically the nursery nurse that transitions the baby from birth to going out to mom....then we have post partum nurses that are called mother/baby nurses. Although often if the nursery nurse is busy, the L&D nurse becomes the baby catcher. The one grabbing the baby from the doctor.
