Dear Judy (forgive last message addressed to Segev), Having worked with frustrating hospital policy for 3 years now my best advise is to just keep plugging away. Drop of articles from the medical literature. Enlist any RN or MD friends and keep plugging. In my hospital I was told that all mothers had to go home with formula "in case something happened to mom". I received a small grant to provide breastfeeding discharge packs(no formula included) and it has been distributed by the nursing staff without any problems. Good luck. -- **************************************************** * Deena Zimmerman MD MPH * * Department of Pediatrics * * UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School * * 1 RWJ Place * * New Brunswick, NJ 08903 * * * * phone (908) 235-7248 * * fax (908) 235-7345 * * email [log in to unmask] (internet) * ****************************************************
