I have never heard of anything like this. I would bet it is the way nursing is handling the milk when they feed it to the babies. If you are not handling your milk according to HMBANA Guidelines, that is a place to start. If you are, I would call in an experienced NICU lactation consultant from another city/state to do a formal consultation. Nancy Nancy E.
