Michelle

Thank you so much for sharing the Illinois Breastfeeding Coalition 
documents on the Breastfeeding Bill of Rights, good experiences and 
poor experiences during peripartum hospital stays.  These documents 
are absolutely brilliant.  Congratulations to the team that put them 
together.  I hope it will be OK if I share them around??  Here in 
England I think they could be very usefully employed, or adapted, to 
encourage better breastfeeding practice.   Our breastfeeding 
awareness week is imminent - thanks for sharing these lovely advocacy tools!

Subject: Letter to hospital re: unsatisfactory breastfeeding support

I have good news, you don't have to reinvent the wheel!


This letter template exists thanks to the Illinois state 
breastfeeding task force:


Here you will locate templates for expressing satisfactory and 
unsatisfactory breastfeeding support in the hospital setting to be 
distributed to hospital administrators.

As for scales. I'm confused, at least half a dozen of the IBLCE core 
competencies are related to assessment of infant growth, development, 
and adequate intake. Why all the dogma surrounding scale use? It's a tool.
