I was  wondering if any WIC LC's or PC's had found any useful ways to help 
mothers  decrease the use of "buckets" and encouage more in arms mothering.  
I  would love to see 
them discouraged in the clinic but don't think it would  fly.


~~
Are the moms bringing the babes in these buckets then sitting the buckets  
on the floor? No matter how many times it's been mopped or disinfected, that 
 would be a place where many shoes have trod and the potential for picking 
up  bacteria or dirt, which then gets taken home with the baby, is a 
possibility.  Could the office say that to further protect little ones, please do 
not put  children or anything they are seated in, on the floor? Maybe if the 
mom had to  sit with the bucket in her lap the whole time, it would make 
less sense to use  it?
 
Peace,
Judy, not a WIC LC, just musing...
