According to u/Desperate_Injury3355, these nurses kept their phones close to the newborns' faces for hours, raising worries about potential eye strain for the children.
The commenter further questioned whether the babies' parents were aware their children were being shown on TikTok live feeds for "thousands of strangers to view".
They also voiced concern that the nurses may be neglecting the infants while using social media.
In a follow-up post on Tuesday (7 Jan), u/Desperate_Injury3355 shared that the nurse had not gone live the previous night, so no additional information could be gathered.
When the user asked the nurse if they were allowed to stream the babies, the nurse responded that they worked in a confinement centre, where different rules apply.
Many users were outraged by the nurses actions, claiming that livestreaming the babies violated patient confidentiality and could potentially lead to termination.
