Happy what's left of WBW!  First day not in hospital doing either work  or a 
celebration project.
Even the really not intoBF Nurse Manager has come up with funds for a cake  
and joined in. She is accepting compliments from Administration and  
congratulating my team.
 
We had a rush on 32 week premies on Thursday....4 in 2 hours. NICU was  
hopping. Yesterday got them as patients...they all are leaking milk like  
faucets...I just kept telling them how lucky they were to be doing this for  their 
babies.  To add to Winnie's list to help with milk production with  pumping I 
would suggest that in this day and age of electronics...they all have  cell phones 
either with videos or cameras or the digital cameras...set them up  while 
pumping and look at their baby and think how they can feel the milk  flowing.  It 
seems to be working with a bunch that I have been suggesting  it to.
 
Well let me finish my email reading and laundry and cleaning so I can hit  
the hospital on Sunday and Monday and Tuesday to finish up our fun...am going to 
 be so slow to take down some of the posters. This became a true  
interdisciplinary celebration.
Dietary put on every tray all week a slip (from our WBW kit) talking about  
Breastfeeding in the hospital.  Social Services wore pins and pushed the  WIC 
exclusively BF pitch and took a poster to another building lobby and put it  
up...its all Med Surg or Alcohol Treatment.
And the funniest was when we were serving "virgin cocktails" on the OB  floor 
and the microwave burnt the popcorn someone was popping to serve...and all  
the alarms went off and the response team arrived to check it and realized 
there  was not really a fire but just a bad smell...they joined in ..so here are 
all  these guys from engineering, secruity and enviromental waiting around  for 
the smoke to clear drinking Maternity Mojitos (green tea and mint  leaves and 
fresh lime) hearing about World Breastfeeding Week.
