i don't know who art flemming is...

...So this is not the Art Flemming Flabbergast, but a flabbergast nonetheless. Tonight I heard a story from a nurse who floats from Mother/Baby to the Newborn ICU that is still making me shake my head...

There was a mother of a patient in the Intermediate Care Nursery about a year ago who was so thankful for the wonderful ICN nurses who cared for her baby. After her baby was discharged from the hospital, she came back to visit and to thank them all, she made a big batch of brownies. After the brownies were eaten she said, "I just didn't know what to do with all that extra breastmilk, so I made brownies with it!"

Now...I am 100% pro-breastfeeding (ok, 99% cuz if you're doing heroin I kinda think bottles of formula are the way to go), but I kinda feel like if I'm going to consume another person's bodily fluids, I wanna know who it came from and I want to have some control of how it's coming in.

Food for thought. And enough said.
