Hi, Winnie and All: I'm having a little trouble comprehending all the discussion on what to do with the cheap plastic spoons that exist by the bazillion on most hospital in-patient units. Why can't a new spoon be used each time one is needed? To be honest, I very rarely use spoons. Usually a good squeeze of a few hanging drops of colostrum onto the nipple is all that is needed to get baby interested, if he is going to be interested at the time the LC is in the room. Oh, also, a ton of skin-to-skin.
