Hi, Just wanted your thoughts. Last week we held a seminar for health professionals on breastfeeding. About 30 midwives and ABA counsellors attended, which I thought was terrific. One midwife raised the issue that she felt some babies were still being given formula without parental consent in hospital. This was greeted by a very angry response by most attending (over the top, I actually thought, as she didn't mention any particular midwives/hospitals and was not accusing those present)
What do others think? Could it? Would it? I actually feel that it probably doesn't in our local hospitals, but you still hear of women feeling threatened into giving formula. If you don;t he'll be dehydrated/it will clear up his jaundice etc. Any thoughts? Barb -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
