Has anyone ever tried feeding prem babies amniotic fluid until such time as the mother is producing sufficient colostrum/breastmilk? We hear about how wonderful amniotic fluid is with all the nutrients and immune factors it contains and that is what the infant is meant to be drinking at this age. Now I realise that maternal blood is also providing heaps of nutients at the same time .... Love to hear from our NICU IBCLCs and neonatologists on just how wacky this idea is ;-) Denise *************************************** Denise Fisher Health e-Learning http://www.health-e-learning.com **************************************** *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
