Debbie,
I applaud your efforts to re-educate military hospital personnel!  Almost 9
years ago my first daughter (I have 3) was born at Naval Hospital
Jacksonville and I planned on breastfeeding.  She needed to be placed under
the warmer quite a bit and the staff gave her bottles or pacifiers whenever
she fussed.  Needless to say she was very nipple confused and we never did
get it right although I pumped for 6 weeks and gave it in a bottle.  I am now
a LLL Leader and on a crusade against all artificial nipples!  Keep up the
good work!
