[ID] 706 [Interest Areas] Health Care Provider [Comment] I am a Family Physician who regularly sees women who start out planning to breast feed, but are already formula feeding when they return to my office for an infant check up at 3 days of age. This is due to the lack of time for skilled nursing support of breast feeding skills, the ready provision of formula in the hospital & in go-home kits, availability of pacifiers in the hospital, and absence of creative problem-solving among hospital staff, and coverage of the costs of pumps, supplemental feeding systems, and comfort measures like nipple shields and gel pads.
