Pam Hirsch writes: I find this to be common -
mothers are given equipment in the hospital but are not told when to either quit using it or when it is time to seek more help. 

This is especially irksome when the pediatrician or pediatric nurse instructs the mother of a hyperbili or 10% weight loss infant that she should supplement after breastfeeding without mentioning that she should discontinue formula usage when her milk "comes in."  Then you get the call from mom 2 weeks later that her milk supply is severely diminished.
