Just got  our measures today.  It is one of them.  The hospital is gearing  
up!  Sometimes with excuses, other times with reasons to fix it.   We’ll 
see.  But I'm excited!  I was asked to speak about it.   We are measuring 
breastfeeding in the NICU on a day to day basis (what percent  of babies are 
getting any breast milk).  We interpret as getting a  DROP of formula as 
non-exclusive.  Nurses have to document why they gave  formula.  It is still 
patient choice that drives it, but we know how  nurses and society affect patient 
choices, also.


~~~ Thanks for sharing this, Debbie. I'm excited too, for you and for the  
moms and babies you will be helping. Kudos to all those hospitals and the 
people  who work in them and with them, to ramp this up.
 
Peace,
Judy
