Allyson,

I have to disagree about this: You said:   (I am) "working in a really good breastfeeding friendly hospital"

It is not BF Friendly to order formula or pumping on day two if a baby is nursing well and voiding. 
And, it is not BF Friendly for any nurse to say, EVER:  "Your baby is starving." NOT.... Ever!

I understand your frustration.  You are an RN and a Board Certified Lactation consultant.  How that other nurse feels is not the real issue.  She said something that was inappropriate and unprofessional.  How are nurses who behave in unprofessional ways handled in your facility?  Do they get to tell people that they are too fat?  Would that get a raised eyebrow?  

This seems to me to require follow-up, by superiors, on your recommendation.

PS The doctor's advice was questionable as well, of course.  But I am assuming the nurse is a hospital employee and the doc may or may not be?
