Would like to get some feedback from other LC's working in hospital setting dealing with the CDC recommendation for breastfeeding mothers exposed to H1N1 flu. CDC recommending mother and baby be seperated and mother pump. Our hospital is writing policy using these recommendations. Newborns will be held in a room other than our NICU b/c we do not have well nursery; babies stay out with their mothers. New mothers exhibiting symptoms will be isolated and need to pump. Babies will be fed EBM until mother has no symptoms. These are the CDC's recommendations. I am very concerned about this. Anyone else out there having hospitals come up with this type of policy? Thanks for input, Eileen Bagan IBCLC CDA Idaho

> As the root of the word vagina comes from the roman soldiers collecting 'Sheaths' (=vagina in latin) for for their 'swords' in more ways than one while on tours of duty!
