We run monthly computer generated data reports on the mothers' and babies' charts. The mothers' data is collected on feeding intent upon admission and taken from the L&D admission form. The babies' data includes feeding intent upon admission to the nursery (exclusive breastfeeding, formula and breastmilk, or formula only) and whether the baby received any formula or not. We exclude babies admitted to Special Care Nursery at any time during the admission and those given formula for a medical reason. Ask your IT person to help you set up the reports and it's so easy. I used to collect all this data by hand.
