This was interesting for me, would appreciate your thoughts. A social worker from an area hospital called tonight, angry about how a=20 mother was being treated. Briefly the situation. Baby born 2.5 weeks=20 ago, mother tested positive for cocaine, baby sent to foster care. Third= =20 baby, mom wants to breastfeed, states she will stop using (I know the=20 high suspicion level here) She was sent home with a double pump set up=20 and instructed on pumping=FBping and freezing until it was determined if he= r=20 baby could return to her. Standard court orders permits her 2 visits per= =20 week, for one hour each. She told the judge she would=FB give random urine= =20 checks when ever they requested. She continues pumping and freezing =20 The social worker tried to speak to the head of child protective=20 services=FB to see what the policy for breastfeeding was - of course friday= =20 afternoon and =FBthe subject of breastfeeding and no call was returned. The social worker feels like the state has and is interfering this womans= =20 right to establish breastfeeding an=F4=A8d is missing a golden opportunity = in=20 a mom who is willing to be in treatment and undergo random urine checks. = =20 The point is do any states CPS divisions have breastfeeding policies? =20 There is no doubt this social worker is a real activist and is ready to=20 make a point of establishing something - while the iron is hot, I would=20 like to strike.
