I really want to be understanding about the fact that newborns are a ton of work and things can come up unexpectedly, but I just have a bad taste in my mouth about the way things have been handled.

The company needs to tighten up on its policies and procedures and tell everyone how much notice is needed for women AND men who are taking care of children (or family members). Emergencies happen but that woman isn't leaving with 5 minutes notice for emergencies. She needs to work that out better with her family and the company (in line with company policies).
I really appreciate the companies that have daycares on site and academic departments that allow women and men to have cribs in their offices.
