Joy, can you PLEASE tell the Paed RMO's this! He's been telling our women 3 hourly feeds... our policy is 6 hours max (average of 6 feeds in a 24 hour period) and once over 6 hours and still not interested, a BSL has to be done. If a good level, the baby can go another 6 hours. PFFFFFt 3 hourly feeds.... Sorry, (dismounting now) Jo -- Babies are Born... Pizzas are delivered. -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
