So well said, Louise. After all, in many cases such as p.c. feedings,
while the LC and others view it as hospital or professional
mismanagement, for years, all the HCP has been trying to do at that
moment in time is follow Rule # 1 - Feed the baby.

Respectful, continuing education, and verbal public appreciation for
small improvements follows the old adage "Honey catches more flies than
vinegar." It has been said that teachers need to think of themselves as
fountains because 95% of all they try to teach often goes down the drain!
