I had a homebirth with my daughter but when she was 3 months old in October of 2010 I was hospitalized for 6 full days. I am a breastfeeding/co sleeping mother and Sherman was VERY supportive. I was very nervous about the antibotics, pain meds, and surgical procedures would interfere with breastfeeding but the entire staff was VERY supportive. In fact, the LC’s (Jill League) were there every step of the way making sure that all the techs, nurses, and doctors were on board with making sure I never had to stop breastfeeding or “pump & dump” at any time.

Thanks SHERMAN for making such a scary illness a better situation than it could have been. I’m very impressed with all the efforts Sherman is taking in becoming a baby friendly hospital and am very shocked Sherman Hospital is not yet on the BFHI list. Let me know if there is anything I can personally do to speed that process along!!
