Our USA hospital requires the EBM to be brought in frozen. The only fresh
EBM accepted is that which is pumped on premises. We still have
'discussions' about what constitutes 50% thawed when a mom brings some in
that has begun to defrost. Mostly frozen is okay. Mostly thawed won't be
accepted.

> I remember posting about a mom of a preemie quite a while ago and the
fact that the hospital would not allow her to bring in her own EBM. I have
come across, once again, this policy. Do your hospitals also forbid moms to
bring in EBM and force them to supply only that which is pumped on the
premises?
