Re: lot numbers for formula

[Guest guest]

Having to record lot numbers is a brilliant idea. I think you should sit

down on the mothers bed and ask her to open her sample pack and read out

the lot number to you. Then explain to her you're recording it in case

something is wrong with it and they have to do a recall or notify all the

parents whose babies have had it and will now get sick. You could finish

the conversation off by saying 'aren't you lucky you're breastfeeding -

would you like me to throw this in the bin now so you won't ever be tempted

to use it?'

Great educational opportunity!

Lori - I thought you were baby friendly. What are you doing with baby

bottles of sterile water?

I love it...but I suspect the powers that be...who most likely bottle-fed

their own children...wouldn't care too much for it. Not in my little

hospital, anyway.

That was Jan who was baby friendly....our hospital has a long way to go

before we get rid of bottles.....we are having an increase in breast feeding,

but are limited in teaching due to a largely Puerto Rican population that has

minimal English when it comes to breastfeeding. We have only 4 nurses on our

unit who speak Spanish..and none of them at night..I speak a very little bit,

but breastfeeding is not in my volcabulary of Spanish at this point....Buenas

Dias! Lori in FLorida

I beleive that " leche " is breastfeeding, we also have a deficit in

spanish, I do alot of pantomime and can count to 20 in spanish, the

biggest problem is that the hispanic population beleive that there is no

milk at all for the first few days, our goal is to try and keep the

artifical nipple out of the babies mouth and use alternatives if mom

insists on giving formula.......and try to encourage them to breast feed

first then give supplement if they insist.....sue

That's what we do too..but you are right..the thought is that they have no

milk.....so if we get them to at least nurse first, we are pretty happy. lori

Pecho is breast, leche is milk.
