Did they give a rationale?? I know when I was on the "other side" as a new
mum, i relied on those heat packs in the immediate post natal period as my
back was so sore. If they have to go I know there will be a lot of mothers
upset. WE use them on out maternity ward and they are very popular. In fact,
I ended up buying my own.
