I have recently started a new job and one of the first things we did was to  
measure how many babies were supplemented before discharge. I now would like 
to  compare this rate with other hospitals in the community (San Jose, San 
Francisco  area) and the US as a whole. Heck, how about the whole world. So what I 
would  deeply appreciate would be any statistics re supplementation rates of 
well  babies before discharge that any of you would be willing to share with  
me. I hope to hear from my colleagues in the Bay Area and LC's from across  
the country and the world. Statistics from Baby Friendly institutions would be  
most welcome.  I would love to share best case and worst case  scenarios. If I 
am able to get a significant amount of  info I promise  to share it with the 
list. I will be making a presentation to the Pediatric  Exec. committee of the 
hosp. and would like some ammo. I certainly will share  their own AAP 
guidelines with them but would like to be able to tell them how  other hospitals are 
doing. I will only share the name of your hospital if  you give me permission. 
 
Please e mail me privately as well as to the   list.
