hi
i will be talking to neonatal nurse practitioners in nicu settings about bf
and use of meds. i am interested in hearing especially from the pharmacology
gurus on the list, other nnps, neonatologists, and nicu nurses about what
particular issues give the most trouble re bf and meds in that setting. for
example, it is pretty straightforward to say it is ok to bf on ibuprofen for
the healthy term infant. but what would be the special considerations for
the LBW and VLBW infant (small premies), for example any ductus closure
issues. any other special considerations you think i should address for the
very small or sick baby. thanks.
