I saw a mother today in my child health capacity and she mentioned that her
2 day old babe had been given boiled water overnight because it was
unsettled, not sure if consent was gained or not, but my understanding is
that we shouldn't be giving anything except for the breast unless firstly it
is medically indicated ( I do appreciate it that this is open to
interpretation) and secondly only after consent is gained from parents.
yours in midwifery, pete malavisi
