Hi All,
You gotta tell me if I am nuts or they are. I just talked to a mom with a
baby (born 7-5 at 34.5 wks gest) in NICU - he has anal fissures. He has had
streaking of blood in his stools as a result of the fissures. He is ONLY
breastmilk fed - sometimes at breast, sometimes on bottle. To help the
fissures the NICU is putting Bag Balm (yes, Bag Balm in the square green tin
can - the stuff they use on cow udders.) on his bottom. I was FLOORED.
Am I nuts in thinking this is totally inappropriate or not? Bag Balm is for
cow udders.not premie baby rectums. I told mom that I was surprised and
that I did not agree with such use and why. I also told her I would ask my
colleagues to make sure I am not out of line.
Thoughts?
