Hi All,
I would love some feedback on a new product. It is called Expresso  
Neonatal Substrate Warmer. It is being marketed to NICU and  
eventually for home use for warming breast milk and formula. They are  
telling the NICUs that our heating methods are most inaccurate (true)  
and that this  $4000.00 (US $) not including the liners (. 30 /ea)  
for every feeding is the way to go. They only have one small study  
they sent us looking at gastric emptying.

I have lots of questions. I know that scalding the baby has been  
documented as a problem at home. I am looking for more studies on  
temp related to feeding etc. I just have more questions then answers.  
I am not sure if I think this is a great idea or a bit overkill. It  
is really expensive. I really don't like idea of it being marketed to  
parents for home use.
