Please let me know what to send on the emails. As expected, the worst interpretation is being embraced. Out of a staff of 30, only a handful are even breastfeeding advocates, even though that is part of their job. Thanks, Pam. The policy recommendation on SIDS, states: "For breastfed infants, pacifiers should be introduced after breastfeeding has been well established. ...it is recommended that pacifier introduction for breastfed infants be delayed until one month of age to ensure that breastfeeding is firmly established."
