Kathy:  I haven't seen the study you referred to.  At what postpartum age
were supplementation rates measured?  If they were measured at hospital
discharge, the doctor may have a good point, since stays did get shorter.
If they were measured more than a week post-discharge, then the length of
the hospital stay would not likely matter.   Regards, Alicia Dermer, MD,
