In some hospitals, it's simply a matter of insurance reimbursement. Insurance pays for the hospitalization of a baby diagnosed with FTT. Insurance will not pay for hospitalization of a baby who is a slow gainer. Slow gainers do better when mother is taught how, understands, and follows through with effective BFing. -- Phyllis Adamson, IBCLC, RLC Glendale, AZ.
