These family-centered units sound too good to be true! In 24 yrs of nursing, I have never worked in a place even remotely family-centered. Maybe it is just New Orleans? I am so pleased with programs like Rush Mother's Milk club and Evergreen's family-centered care. This is getting a bit off topic, but the concepts of family-centered care, developmental care of premature infants, kangaroo mother care (all related) are so important to healthy moms/babies and breastfeeding. I applaud those who are doing such fine work in these areas. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
