on paper at first they look clear cut - but out in 'some' workplaces they are open to interpretation bcos - when is it necessary to give formula information , how much is deemed appropriate, when have you done all you can do to protect and promote br

In what way are they 'open to interpretation?' If you are referring to the Baby Friendly Hospital initiative, and its goals to have 90% of babies exclusively bf upon discharge, then I agree that there are some flaws in this programme, which hopefull

I would have had to go in every 4 weeks to get the roots done if I'd gone blonder so I chose to go a light mahogany colour instead. I can always do the blonde thing later if I want to...
