Karen,
I was being tongue in cheek in my use of the word "prove".
My major concern is that some of this important research into how to
help premies will be misused to prevent mothers from being encouraged to
breastfeed their little ones. I was wondering aloud what kind of
management was used: scheduled feeds, kangaroo care, whatever.
I do agree that preterm infants and SGA infants have special needs and
deserve good LC follow up. But I also think they are more capable than
we give them credit, IF mom is allowed to modify her approach to suit
their needs.
