Well put. Barb!  Unfortunately, we do not live in an ideal world.  In
the hospital where I work, I am not in a position to make all the
feeding decisions for every mom/baby pair.  Many things are done that I
cannot agree with in good conscience.  However, I cannot change
everything at once.  I have to pick and choose the battles considering
such things as:
1-how much time can I devote to the battle and still meet the needs of
the moms who want help?
2-how much can I "stir the pot" at one time and still keep the respect
and progress that has been made so far?
3-how much do I feel I can nudge the "powers that be" at one time?

Sometimes I have felt in the responses to posts I have made as well as
what I read in the responses to others, there seems to be an attitude of
"just state the facts, they'll have to change".  "Don't you know
...........is the way it's supposed to be done?"  There is quite a gap
between the ideal world ant thr reality one.  Not that we should stop
striving toward the ideal one, we just have to realize that change
usually comes slowly  In fact, I believe that often it is the slowly won
battles that stay "won" the longest.  Quick change can lead to more
dissatisfaction and desire to change again just as quickly.

Not only is it the reality of needing income to survive, in my case,
it's being close enough to retirement age that it would be very
difficult to get another position if I leave this one in frustration!.
