"Would you ask your colleagues on the list serve what policy they have on
their inpatient peds units for breastfeeding moms? Not when the patient is
breastfeeding, but when the patient is the older sibling and mom has an
infant
she is breastfeeding. Do they let the infant in the room with the patient?
Have a separate lounge? Does baby spend the night?"
--------In the Netherlands you are allowed to bring your baby with no extra
expenses untill the age of three months. Not only when siblings are
hospitalized, but also when mom herself is. A breastfed baby over the age of
three months is seen as very uncommon and unneccessary (there are many other
ways to feed 4-mo-baby's :-)).
I think this won't be of any help :-)
