 So, if all of these inexperienced and fatigued doctors and nurses just slept

Well at least Im not alone... so tired of all this stuff, as well as the MDs
( 2 of them) who told a mom with excellent supply pumping - nonlatching babe
right now - she should be using at least 4 ounces of AIM a day since "breast
milk that is pumped doesn't have enough of the hind milk, and the baby won't
gain well enough"...
