Hi all-- A radio story I just heard at approx 6:40 or 6:45am (it was over at 6:50 am) EDT on USA's National Public Radio, and likely to be heard at anytime this am at 20 minutes before the hour (even 8:40 again here on my radio) -- Story focused on the 24 hr discharge, AMA disapproval, some states (NJ) legislation against etc. Some medical inaccuracies but no blame directed at bf. Bf only mentioned twice by name, essentially because it was taken as the norm-- eg unnamed initially--"probs with jaundice and dehydration because baby didn't get enough liquid" --quote from mom early in report who was apparently bf but it was never mentioned, ie. what specific liquid was never mentioned, baby readmitted for rx, (baby now doing fine btw p $ readmission), and a later quote also mentioning increase in jaundice and dehydration because mothers "don't know how to breastfeed properly." Quote also from Kaiser Southern Calif doc on 15 years research on 24 discharge showing no problem *if* proper f/u, home visits, etc., and subsequent comment by reporter distinguishing Kaiser approach to 24 hr discharge from those of other for profits and other insurance co.'s that have no such safeguards. Hope this note will let a couple more people hear it than wouldn't have. Tina
