Hello everyone, I need your help! My family and I recently relocated to
Kentucky from Maryland. I went from a very progressive hospital in the area
of Lactation to one where most people are not even sure what the word
means! I have many battles ahead of me in changing views of Physicians and
staff. My first challange is changing the current practice of glucose water
supplememtation in the breast feeding infant. Currently if a baby does not
have a good nursing session, they are brought to the nursery and fed 1-2
ounces of glucose water....after each nursing session! Apparently it is not
enough the AAP does not recommned this practice. I feel if I can educate
the MD's with valid documentation of how this affects nursing, I could
start to change their minds and the policy. Any references or
recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!! You may email me at
[log in to unmask] Thank you in advance....Michele Linn RN,IBCLC
