Perhaps a noticeable increase in the number of mothers arriving with advance, 
"home-banked" colostrum might give a message, and perhaps a "wake-up" call to 
hospital staffs, neonatologists, etc.


Does this observation occur to anyone else???

Dear Friends:

    At the risk of seeming terribly cynical, I would expect some facilities 
to outlaw this practice, based on some silly notion or other. 
    Consider what happens to babies born on the way to the hospital that are 
admitted to a different nursery than the general well-baby one because they 
are considered 'dirty'.
    Or maybe hospitals aren't doing that any more?
    (Answering my own  question: mothers don't get a chance any more to have 
their babies fall out, as 1 in 3 are cut out, and over half are induced out.)
    warmly,
