Lori,
My I suggest you paraphrase this idea in your letter?
"Such advice (re: breastfeeding and HIV positivity) reflects the Western
prejudice that artificial milks are innocent until proven guilty, whereas
breastmilk is guilty until proven innocent.
¯Short RV. Breastfeeding, birth spacing and their effects on child survival.
Nature. 1988;335:679-82 (page 682) "
Why should this be a decision for the anesthesia dept, this is something for
pediatrics to address. Does anesthesia want to make other infant/child
feeding decisions.
Can you tell this topic bothers me?
Fortunate the only time I experienced it at my hospital I put an order on
the baby's chart to breastfed when mom as awake and able to. My discussions
with anesthesia went well.
