Dear Friends:
Reading of Esther's and other's dilemmas with poor hospital staffing is
so sad. Seems to be a trend, at least in hospitals where mothers I see
deliver.
It is still true in some parts of the world that one suffers in a
hospital unless one has family or friends to come assist. In some hospitals in the
world, patients don't get fed unless food is provided by families.
That is another solution: put recliners in rooms for family members to
stay. Birth and breastfeeding are community events; clearly hospitals can't
even come close to meeting the needs for community. I plan on camping out in my
daughter's room, when the time comes.
warmly,
