only, with the message that the parents would have to choose to do something
less safe only when they were outside the control of the hospital?".  I'm
happy to tell you that's what happens here!!  The paeds (who are realistic
about what happens in the "real world") know that sometimes these babies get
bottles going home in the car, but in the hospital they *breastfeed* or they
don't eat at all! A little harsh, maybe, but the message comes across.

identifying Lactnuts - loved it!)
