Letter: Peter Dunn obituary

I was just starting my career in paediatrics at Southmead hospital in Bristol in 1963 when Peter Dunn was appointed. He quickly fired everyone's enthusiasm for neonatology. At the time, junior staff were trying to persuade more senior staff that low-birthweight babies should be fed early, rather than the practice of not feeding for 48 hours or until they seemed hungry. He strongly supported us and we managed to establish early feeding. We founded the Bristol Perinatal Club together, which at the time was unique in allowing obstetricians and neonatologists to meet to discuss mutual problems.
