Hi, Michelle. I've been off-list for a long time. What were the results of
your survey? I'm grappling with what king of storage containers to recommend
for NICU. Thanks, Ann Lown IBCLC St. Vincent Hospital, Santa Fe, NM, where
it's beautiful clear fall, crisp nights, hot days with smell of roasting
chile on the air.

One of the dietitians on my pediatric listserve is doing this survey and
would like feedback from our LC listserve if any of you work in a hospital
setting AND have the time to answer it. I see it as an opportunity to help
educate and share info with an important support group! TIA, Michelle Scott,

Hi Michelle,
Bless you. You have my permission. The more responses I get, the better idea
we would have of what everyone is doing. Thank you.
