Thanks to all of you who responded so quickly to my request for legal
info in our fight with the Kansas Capitol. You'll all be pleased (if you
don't already know) that you can now legally breastfeed in Kansas per
bill 2248!

 

Today I would like to know if anyone has a feeding algorithm to help
nurses determine when to worry if a newborn hasn't fed well. So they can
decide  when they MUST supplement (or NOT as the case may be). We have
one, but it's rather complex. We are getting ready to give a mandatory
class to staff and are working on decreasing needless interventions. Any
suggestions or policies/guidelines you could share would be helpful to
help change the frequency of formula introduction.

 

Thanks in advance! Feel free to email me
