I knew I was not the only one who recoiled at the irresponsible media treatment of the Breastfeeding experience of Nurse Hathaway soon after the birth of Tess/Twin A [specifically with regard to supplements and the prolongedly delayed intitiation of bf]. Many overt infractions of "standards of practice" with regard to breastfeeding were noted, but to have additionally involved a [TV] nursing professional--ugh. Who and where were the professional advisors? Sending this message to the TV audiences only reinforces the ignorance that is unfortunately pervasive in hospital settings today. I had to immediately intervene with corrective explanations [as well as expletives] to family members who were viewing this along with me on Thanksgiving nite. *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
