Dear Kathy, I've mentioned before (check archives) that what is in this report is what I observed in 2 different hospitals (MI & NJ). I'm not in favor of epidurals because I think they are dis-empowering and because we see so many BF problems, but you can't beat the article authors' conclusions! Fix postdelivery care policies, especially if you plan to sell lots of epidurals! DUH ! >We recommend that hospitals > that find ***decreased**** lactation success in parturients receiving epidural > analgesia***** reexamine ****their postdelivery care policies.
