Hi Katherine and lactnuts, The AAP policy statement (1997) doesn't say 10-14x (I said that was better than saying 8-12x) but rather it says approx 8 to 12 times in 24 hrs. I think we rewrote our hospital booklet to say 10-14x is average. Sorry for the misinformation. Laurie Wheeler, RN, MN, IBCLC Violet Louisiana, s.e.
