[ID] 1094 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Health Care Provider Public Health Worker State or Local Government [Comment] Many hospitals are giving out formula to moms who are breastfeeding (even to exclusively breastfeeding moms). For the establishment of a good milk supply, this practice should be limited to those moms whose milk has not come in yet. Many moms are also getting information, when they deliver, that it is OK to breastfeed just once or twice a day--and then when their supply disappears they don't understand what happened. We need a push for exclusive breastfeeding for at least a month before the introduction of formula, even in moms who plan to partially BF and partially formula feed. [Topic]
