I went in to see a pt. today whose baby was less than 24 hours old.  
Her pedi has us see all his moms whether they need it or not, so when  
he orders formula he feels like he supports breastfeeding.

I walked in and couldn't believe my eyes. This baby was swaddled  
tighter than any baby I've ever seen, AND she was in a swing. They  
brought their swing from home, to put their brand new baby in! I  
asked if she had been extra fussy and the mom said, no, she had been  
an angel. I explained why it's not a good idea to keep them so  
tightly swaddled, and she should be close to her mom and said she  
probably didn't even realize she had been born and thought she was  
still being fed through her umbilical cord, cause not much else had  
changed.

Just had to vent. Thirteen years, I thought I had seen everything  
that could shock me.
