I was contacted by an attorney who is trying to set up policies for mothers
to be able to bring their breastfed babies with them when admitted to a
hospital.

Some of the concerns are:  What do they do with the baby when the mother
goes for tests?  What do they do when they have no private rooms?  How are
liability issues handled?

If any of you know of hospitals that have written policies on this, please
let me know. If you know of hospitals that allow it but do not have written
policies, do you know how they handle these issues?

Thanks for any help you can give.
