Hi  LCs,

 

 

I would greatly appreciate any information especially anyone can give me on
this 

 topic. 

 

All NYC HHC hospitals will be receiving funding to facilitate efforts to 

 become Baby Friendly. I am having a meeting on tommorrow with 

 representatives from OB and other departments to draft Bellevue’s 

 proposal for utilization of this money.

 

  In order for us to follow step 4: helping mothers to initiate 

 breastfeeding within ½ hour of birth we will have to start helping 

 those mothers that have caesarians breastfeed on the operating table. 

 We are not doing this and I need to find out which hospitals are so 

 that I can communicate with them and find out how. This is the 

information I’ve been asked to find out in order to propose that we 

 set up the OR in our L&D to accommodate breastfeeding. 

  

If anyone who has been present at a caesarian birth

 where breastfeeding was

 facilitated on the table could describe to me the

 scenario and how it was done I would really appreciate it.

 

My Bellevue e-mail address is [log in to unmask]

 

 Thank you,
