May Alice, what is your percentage of BF initiation? 20 hours sounds
right for 1500 births with a 50% initiation rate. If rate is
higher.....it's not just a nice thing to do, it's a necesary thing to do.
Tell admin how many unhappy moms there will be. Get some letter writing
going. Have you saved any letters in the past? Dig them out. I would
divide the 10 hours into 2 - 5 hour days and have office hours on those 2
days. They can't expect you to be at their disposal 2 hours a day x 5!
Let admin deal with the frustrated staff and moms! Boo hiss to them.
Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
