Hi Everybody,
My daughter is about 32 weeks into her first pregnancy, has been on Insulin
since about 7 weeks and is having a pretty complicated time so far. She is
being seen at the Naval Hospital in Bremerton Washington.
Her OB refused to write an RX for donor milk in case the baby has
hypoglycemia unresolved by breastfeeding. He told her "a navy RX would not
work at the milk bank". So we bypassed him and donor milk is now happily in
my freezer in case of a hypoglycemic preemie. Today, she was seen by a
resident physician. She mentioned that she secured the donor milk. This
person ACTUALLY said "if your baby is hypoglycemic we will use synthetic food
to treat it". My daughter then said, "I will not be giving my baby any formula".
And this "doctor" then said, "Oh it isn't really formula".
Can you hear me screaming?
