Here at the local hospital where I work, crib cards have worked out great. I
have put the hunger cues on the front of the pink or blue card and new
parents like the idea of a quick reference of knowing when their baby is
beginning to get hungry. Inside the folded card is the babies name, weight,
MD name and a check off which all are expected to follow. ie breast only,
pacifiers ok or not, or bottle feed. If someone gives a pacifier to a baby that
the parents have not checked off, their are reprecussions from staff. I have
even seen a MD stop a nurse from bottle feeding because the parents didn't
check it off and no medical reason for it. I am fortunate to come from a very
high breastfeeding community and for our hospital, breastfeeding is the norm
from birth. Most of the female OB's have delivered their babies here, and I
have had the pleasure of helping a few of them on their own breastfeeding
journey.
