Has anyone heard any of your neos talking about babies only nursing 1-2 times a day and being fed HMF in the EBM the rest of the feedings for all babies up to 36 weeks in NICU.  Supposedly the nutritional lecture stated this should continue until these babies are 40 weeks, then at that time the HMF can be discontinued.  The reasoning is these babies are not getting all of the calcium, etc they need from breastfeeding alone for perfect growth.  One of our Neo's just attended this 7 day conference in California.  

Trying to take a deep breath.
