>JCAHO (in US-big deal that accredits hospitals) has a new reg.  The ped
must SIGN the standing orders or give a verbal order before the baby can get
eye drops, Vit K or be fed!<
Out of interest, how would a mother be prevented from feeding her baby?  Is
everyone forgetting that the baby belongs (for want of a better word) to the

would tell anyone trying to prevent them from feeding their own babies to
shove their orders up their ... Um ...  I would have liked to have seen
someone try to STOP me from feeding one of my babies - ever seen what a mama
polar bear will do to anyone interfering with one of her cubs?  Are you
saying that American mother will now potentially have to sign an AMA form in
order to feeding their own babies?
