I do not know of a formal policy regarding lactation care and readmitted 
mothers.  However; when there is a nursing mother admitted who needs 
lactation services, her nurse puts in an order for a lactation consult.  I have 
been called to a variety of departments all over the hospital.  We do not limit 
lactation care to the maternity center.

I would like to hear what other facilities do to serve these readmitted mothers.
