In response to Kathleen's recent request for good news, here's my little
bit:

Mid last week I was asked to go see our head of our Maternity Ward. She
informed me that I was being taken off patient care for a month. The reason?
To implement, evaluate, refine and educate re our new breastfeeding policy!

We have worked hard to formulate a baby/mother/midwife friendly b/f policy,
and it will be implemented on my first day. My job is to help implement this
great new policy, along with improve staff/client knowledge.

Another great part is that everyone I have spoken to so far is very positive
about it all, even down to the Midwife B/F competencies, which we will all
have to undertake.

It is so good to have senior members of staff so supportive, at long last!
So how's that for GREAT????
