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.
