I posted yesterday asking if LOS is shorter for bottlefed premies. I  
would like to clarify - these are by and large breastmilk-fed babies.  
I am lucky to work at a hospital that has a 90-95% breastfeeding  
initiation rate and most of these babies go home being fed bottles of  
breastmilk. The NNP (and I) would like to see if it really makes a  
difference (i.e. longer LOS) to let them just breastfeed. As I said  
in my previous post, there is an attached private room (with queen  
sized bed, refridgerator, TV, full bath, etc) for the parents that  
they can stay in free of charge the entire time their baby is a  
patient, so moms can be there for all the feedings if they want.
