IMO the use of biohazard stickers and gloves/masks/gowns could be very
harmful to mothers. It suggests to them that their milk is dirty and
dangerous and just reinforces common beliefs about breastfeeding and women
in general in a way that cannot be good or support breastfeeding initiation
and continuance.

 While they do not require biohazard stickers,
we were required to do so either by a recent survey from the Joint
Commition of Hospital Accreditation or the State of PA survey.  So, it
is there.  Do I think it needs to be there?  No but someone up the chain
of command did and this is a battle that I don't feel that causing is
any harm to our breastfeeding mothers and babies.
