title: Supplementation of breastfeeding newborns: a flow chart for decision making.
abstract: Although research clearly demonstrates that supplementation of healthy infants in the early neonatal period has many potentially negative effects on breastfeeding initiation and continuation, the practice persisted at a Level II hospital. This paper explores the process undertaken to decrease this practice. A flow chart designed to assist nursing staff with decision making regarding supplementation was developed and tested.
