Dear Friends:
Denise Fisher brings up an interesting idea to use amniotic fluid to
feed premature infants. I have always wanted to save some amniotic fluid to use
to help with latch-on difficulties, as I have heard many times that the scent
from the Montgomery glands is the same as the scent of the fluid. Research
has shown that babies track the smell on their wet hands as one way to find
the nipple and areola.
Probably would repel some practitioners if there was meconium in it.
However, it's all sterile, isn't it?
warmly,
