Hey Cindy C.,

I will definately but you on my list of people to take care of when I return
from Indianapolis.  You can tell I did reach early July posts.  I
unfortunately need to drive to Indi. tonight with my 17yr daughter for her
second ACL (knee) surgery.  I will be at Methodist Hospital where wonderful
Dr. Mary Jo Stein, neonatologist, use to work and implemented in the NICU
unit infant premie feeding "IV's to Breastfeeding".  I plan to take a walk up
to NICU/maternity units and see what they are presently doing.
 I am glad I get to play mommy and nurse for a few days, but then that much
further behind on lactnet.  I promise I will send you Cindy, Jan Barger and
my article on milk storage at room temp. for 10 hrs.  I also have many other
policies and procedures that hospitals (normal newborn and NICU) are using
that I would be more than happy to share with you.  E-mail me your phone #.
 Thanks.  Talk to you all Netters next mon.
PS- I do want to share with you all,  what my intentions were when I wrote in
1995 the article on fingerfeeding.  At that time, I got the nurses to use
syringe feeding for an AFM (alternative feeding method)  but then found
finger-feeding had some advantages.  Since then I have discovered that no one
way works for every baby/mom and many of the things we do today are abusive.
 I will conti later.  Have a good week!!!!
