Hello, All: Just wanted to let you know some of the things our hospital did for WBW. We did 2 information tables, one outside the cafeteria and one outside our gift shop. Heard some interesting comments and got some interesting questions from some unusual groups - men and older (grandparent- age) adults. We also hosted an outdoor picnic for our mother's group and had 22 moms and their babies attend - along with one dad. Of course, the weather co-operated beautifully - bright sunshine with temps in the 70's and NO bugs! One of the moms (mother to 7 month-old, exclusively breastfed twin boys) was excited to be participating in a breastfeed-in Saturday, August 7 in South Bend, IN. One of our night staff nurses made up buttons for all our staff at the suggestion of another night shift nurse (I guess brilliant ideas can be generated, even in the middle of the night!) that said "Breastfeeding Moms Rock" with 2 musical notes and the name of our hospital on it. Thanks, Deb and Bernie! We also provided baby footprint cookies for the staff at lunchtime. Ironically, our Mead-Johnson rep was there the same day with lunch for the staff from Panera Bread! All-in-all, a good week!
