<<She says they want to  put a cart, stocked with various items like
nursing bras, shells, stools,
pumps, books, preemie clothes, etc. on the OB unit. They not only want it
prominently displayed, but are also looking to have someone(a volunteer
"pink lady" perhaps) take it from room to room to make this stuff
available>>

Please use my comments--Yikes !! How can we bear one more
distraction--commercial or otherwise to the task of instruction and
education to new parents in this era of short stay.  There is so much
already for this very short period of time. Anyone even attempting to sell a
nursing bra to a new mother without a knowledge and expertise in fitting off
would be less than credible. Then it would require touching the patient and
that would require professional privileges in that setting.   Even the old
traditional volunteers cart of candy or lending library has gone by by.
