I think the lengthy delays all involve c-s, but even with a vag. birth they do take them away for a period to measure, wash, immunize, etc. The old school policy was to keep them in the nursery for ages and ages while mom recovered (and then bring baby back eventually, full of formula, of course).

My wife's had three C's and each time they cleaned the baby in the room, gave her to me, and I brought her over to mom's head while they stitched up her belly. They took baby back, looked her over a bit more and then I accompanied the baby and nurses to the nursery leaving mom behind to finish getting stitched and transported to recovery.
For the next 45 minutes or so I traveled back and forth from the nursery to recovery to visit my ladies. Once they moved my wife to her room in the maternity wing, the baby was brought in. It was exactly the same procedure for all three babies.
