There are two reasons for pursuing this lawsuit: (1) this mom doesn't want to pay the hospital because she didn't get the quality of services she is being asked to pay for; (2) to get on the books a decision that the use of a bottle on a normal, healthy newborn whose mother plans to breastfeed (and has demanded that no bottles be given) is medical malpractice and/or battery. A case like that could be used by any mother (or hospital bf advocate) to persuade hospitals to change their practices because of threat of potential litigation. I know litigation is not an elegant tool for changing health care practices, but it does focus the minds of hospital administrators and insurers wonderfully. While this case might not result in any big damage award, it could set an important precedent. Rachael Hamlet
