Re: student suggestions for breastfeeding packs.

Please feel free to use whatever information is helpful to you anything to
help the cause!

People may also be interested to know some hospitals (very few) in Ontario
have started to use consents for using formula!  Neil Campbell a
Neonatologsit from Australia told us at the ILCA conference in 1993 that
they had experienced a law suite from the family of a baby who developed
life threatening allergies because it was given formula, as a result most of
their local hospitals now use consents.

At least a consent means mothers must receive correct information I actually
think that is not a bad route to go.  When I told one of our neonatologists
about this he looked at me in amazement and said youmean we have to treat it
like medication!
