Robin, where do you get these cards or are they made for just your
hospital? [log in to unmask]

Subject: crib cards

Here at the local hospital where I work, crib cards have worked out
great.  I 
have put the hunger cues on the front of the pink or blue card and new 
parents like the idea of a quick reference of knowing when their baby is

beginning to get hungry.  Inside the folded card is the babies name,
weight, 
MD name and a check off which all are expected to follow.  ie breast
only, 
pacifiers ok or not, or bottle feed.  If someone gives a pacifier to a
baby that 
the parents have not checked off, their are reprecussions from staff.  I
have 
even seen a MD stop a nurse from bottle feeding because the parents
didn't 
check it off and no medical reason for it.  I am fortunate to come from
a very 
high breastfeeding community and for our hospital, breastfeeding is the
norm 
from birth.  Most of the female OB's have delivered their babies here,
and I 
have had the pleasure of helping a few of them on their own
breastfeeding 
journey.
