Hi Everybody:
   This in response to Ruth Solomon's post about hospitals not being able to
afford to supply as much formula as is donated. Hospitals that have dealt with
this very issue have discovered that the amount of formula actually used in
the hospital by babies is very small and affordable. Because there is so much
formula around, lots of it gets used for other reasons other than giving to
in-patient babies. So that is where the savings comes in!
    Baby-Friendly USA can be reached at <[log in to unmask] > and is willing and
eager to answer questions about dealing with barriers to the 10 Steps. Warmly,
Nikki
