I believe I may have not made myself clear on my original posting.  Natural
Care is being given in my facility to healthy, term infants as a substitute
to breastmilk. Some of the staff is sending it home with moms who have no
breastfeeding problems.  The moms are not cautioned against the adverse
effects of giving something other than breastmilk to their infants. From
what I understand it should be mixed with breastmilk when there is a volume
issue or may be used with preemies.  What I'm looking for are references
related to the use of this specific product.  I don't think it is being
handled properly in my facility.  If ABM ordered to be given by our
physicians I would rather we use a low iron formula, not human milk
fortifier for our healthy, term infants. References and suggestions greatly
appreciated.
