[@angel467]

Why ate hospital s not teaching these mew moms before the leave hospital! Hospital s make in donations more than enough to help new moms and new born babies!

[@LG-rescues]

Yes -- GREAT JOB!! I was wondering why the Mom and baby wasn't taken to the hospital to get checked out?? New Mom might need medication to help with the milk production?? And the hospital should have the correct formula for that infant?? My Great Grand Daughter needed to have her tongue clipped at that age to help her with latching on so she could eat correctly, which was missed whenever she was born. It's a very common procedure. Just a thought!! GREAT JOB 👍

[@rosalindalay4499]

What about wic?

[@LG-rescues]

@@rosalindalay4499 Well at that hour of day the only thing open would have been the hospital. They should have been able to direct her in the direction of WIC. Most hospitals send home with newborns enough stuff for a month it seems like. If this baby was only a week old the Mama shouldn't have been alone to fend for themselves. I'm wondering where the rest of her family was also. I'm way over the hill and old fashioned I guess!!!!

[@pennyc.638]

George Stephanopoulos is not 'attacking the President' as someone so aptly stated. He's asking a very pertinent question which, by the way, is on almost every voters minds and, deserves to have the answer! If a mere cold can cause so much 'loss of thought', the voters deserve an answer! Sorry, but even I thought that he didn't look like he was all on top of his cognetive functions during that interview. The U.S.A. is in trouble if he gets in---that is, unless someone else is running the White House!! And, you sure as heck do not need that!!
