HI Marilyn,
Medela has a great waterless system for breastmilk.

Subject: warmers for NICU
We are looking for water less warmers for breastmilk in the NICU. It
could be individual or one for the breastmilk storage room. We can not
per infection control use tap water for warming and I am being told that
some run as high as one thousand dollars each. Which is out of the
question. So What are the rest of you using? I was asked to post to get
some ideas.Thanks

Subject: Hospital Staffing Guidelines for IBCLCs
I just wanted to let everyone know that the US Lactation Consultant
Association (USLCA) has issued hospital IBCLC staffing guidelines which
can be found at
http://uslca.org/documents/Staffing%20Statement/IBCLC_Staffing_Recommend
ations_July_2010.pdf. These guidelines cover the number of IBCLCs
recommended for Level I, II, and III hospitals per 1000 births and will
help hospitals staff appropriately to meet the Joint Commission's new
Perinatal Core Measure Set. mPINC scores can also increase when there
are sufficient IBCLCs on staff to help improve lactation care and
services. Copies can be shared with hospital administrators.
There is a companion document called "5 steps to improving job security
for the hospital-based IBCLC" with help for anyone whose hours are being
cut or whose job is threatened. It is available at
http://uslca.org/documents/Job%20Security/5_STEP_HANDOUT3.pdf and hard
copies can be ordered from the USLCA office.
USLCA has a third document, a reimbursement white paper, to help
insurers see the value of reimbursing the IBCLC. This can be downloaded
from
http://uslca.org/documents/White%20Paper/Reimbursement_White_Paper.pdf
and also ordered in hard copy format from the USLCA office.
Hope these are helpful to those struggling with these issues.

Subject: Script for rooming in
I am looking for some scripting for nurses on our OB unit to use to talk
to patients as we shift to rooming in. We have low initiation and
duration rates but have been working on putting babies to breast
immediately after delivery. Our staff is dubious that in our "take our
baby to the nursery for the night" culture it will be possible to
achieve rooming in. Any specific ideas?
Thanks,
Char
