<<  She then pumped out his stomach, measured the
 amount that he consumed [which was as much as he was "supposed" to],
 properly recorded it, and then put it back into his stomach through the
tube.

 I hope that this seems as bazaar to the rest of you as it did to that
mom
 and to me. >>

IMHO, I  would contact (1) the hospital ombudsman, (2) hospital social
worker (maybe, depending on how bf friendly he/she is), (3) an attorney,
(4) change hospitals, if possible.

This mom sounds like she's ready to get tough with the hospital, she
might need a little permission/assistance.  She might be surprised how
fast she gets results when she is very clear about what she wants/doesn't
want for her child and backs it up with a letter on legal firm
letterhead.  The local LLL might have an attorney/mom who is willing to
do this for free or a nominal fee if mom can't afford the regular fee.
