In April, I requested information and cites, to stop the removal of a 5 
week premature newborn, from his mother's breast.  As the baby had come 
early, and the Social Workers wanted the baby put into foster care, from 
the neo-natal unit, until the unit place that had been booked for the 
due date, came open.

Couldn't make it up, could you?

Many of you responded fantastically, with long quotes and cites.  I copy 
and pasted them whole.  The result was the advocacy statement I've just 
posted on my blog:

Mother and baby were not separated.  Mostly due to the sterling work by 
the NHS midwives and lactation specialist, in the unit.  But the work 
and support of you wonderful people in here, helped them succeed.

Thank You!

It's rare, to be able to feedback, in under two years!
