Our NICU is revising their policies regarding the use of kangaroo pumps (continuous feeding pumps) and breastmilk. The questions center around the length of time that breastmilk could be at room temperature in the feeding pouch or "bag". Typically this is thawed breastmilk. Currently our policy indicates four hours. Do any NICUs use a longer time frame ? Would anyone be willing to share their policy information?
