<<There were no lactation services at all prior to that.  To say the least,
it's less than
ideal, but my Nurse Manager said that since I started beginning of July she
has seen a much larger # of babies L/O correctly and comfortably when she
makes rounds.  So 1 couplet at a time...>>

-----Gretchen your facility is lucky to have you.  It seems that Joint
Commission now has  more definition of lactation services and more
expectations for lactation services of  hospitals that serve the
childbearing family.  Has that not yet happened in your area?  Maybe when
they come around and see the deficit you'll get more hours and more help.
