I am wondering about how mothers who are admitted to medical-surgical/ICU wards are having their lactation needs met. Is there always a lactation consult? Is it needed? How does the mom get a pump? Where are pumps kept? Are the patients charged $ for a pump or consult? Are all the hospital nurses trained in use of a pump and storing milk? Do all the wards have medication reference books? Are all the nurses required to have an annual competancy on these topics?
