They are taken out to feed every four hours????????? this is an interesting
and rated dated system, isn't it?  Is your hospital aware of the current
trends and evidence in breastfeeding with relation to mothers and babies
not being separated, cluster feeding, etc. I was not thinking that we had
many hospitals left with a nursery where babies stayed, being brought out
every four hours. Now, this really sounds like "The Group." a la 1940. No
offense intended, but it's not gonna help early breastfeeding success. Kathleen
