[ID] 23 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Health Care Provider Lactation Professional Nonprofit Organization [Comment] Education needs to take place on the detremental effects of maternal and infant separation. More research needs to be pulled out and dusted off showing the long term effects to these babies, one day to be adults. Health care professionals see no worth to keeping baby and mother together. Routine administration of Pitocin is unbelievable, adding to the distressing experience of childbirth for mother and baby. Each postpartum nurse should be required to have extensive lactation training and experience. They should not have bias opinions towards formula feeding. Employees should be repremanded for not supporting breastfeeding or giving formula without medical reason. Exclusive breastfeeding is going by the wayside. The importance is not noticed anymore. The benefits to exclusive breastfeeding should be highlighted in bold. What benefits are lost once that one bottle of formula is given? The mother should know that info. Each mother should be given information related to the risks of forumla feeding and sign a consent form prior to their first feed or before going into labor. [Topic]
