Diana,
If you want to call me, I will share with you our hospital's cup feeding
experience. Institutions often want to know who else is doing something. Cup
feeding is no longer considered new where I am. Sometimes I think things have
reverted using the cup rather than the bottle! We may round breastfeeding
mothers only to find that "my baby was cup fed during the night"!!!
Back to the subject---cup feeding is mentioned in our breastfeeding policy and
is not considered new, unusual, or radical. I work in a small community
hospital that is a part of a large, multi-hospital, 600+ doc system.
