Subject: Lawsuit arising from bottle introduction
Greetings all,
I remember hearing about a patient who had sued a hospital for giving her
baby a bottle when she intended to breastfeed.
Does anyone know if this ever happened and if the suit was successful?
Along the same lines, are there any hospitals that require a physician to
write an order before formula is given to a baby?
TIA
Shirley Gross

I'm not a physician, but am a CNM/FNP and have full medical staff
privileges at out little hospital. Anyone who gives one of * MY *
breastfed babies ABM without a written or verbal order from ME writes an
incident report. So there.
