I have no idea WHERE they get these ideas - I didn't go to nursing school. (medical school was bad enough re breastfeeding nonsense). In my nursery they have heard of / and do Kangaroo Care, dry breastfeeding, cup feeding etc. but some of them still don't believe in it, and actively or passively fight against some of it! Last night while I was the in-house Neonatologist, I had a mother call me when she got HOME. She knew I was in the hospital but didn't want to talk to me in front of her infant's nurse, who had told her her baby was "too tired" to breast feed. I went back in the nursey and wrote an order on the chart that the infant was not to be gavaged or bottle-fed when mother was there. Got a few raised eyebrows. We'll see if it sticks (I don't have the reputation of a pushy b----- for nothing!). Nancy Wight MD
