Hi Germaine,
Can you get the nurses to teach the mother to hand-express a drop or two
onto the baby's lips instead of playing "bait-and-switch" with
sucrose? This puts the skill into the mother's hands instead of making her
think that a nurse has to get breastfeeding going with a commercial
substance, or that her own milk isn't a "good enough" reason to latch on.
Goodness...the perverse notion that you have to use sugar to get kids to
eat right starts early!
