Dear Friends:
The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine has published the updated
hypoglycemia protocol.
I love it. I love how pasteurized donor milk is the first item listed as
substitute nutrition.
I love this bit at the end, that I have copied in full:
"Healthy, full-term infants are programmed to make the transition from their
intrauterine constant flow of nutrients to their extrauterineintermittent
nutrient intake without the need
for metabolic monitoring or interference with the natural breastfeeding
process.(3) Homeostatic mechanisms ensure adequate energy substrate
is provided to the brain and other organs,even when feedings are delayed. The
normal pattern of early, frequent, and exclusive breastfeeding meets the
needs of healthy full-term infants.
Routine screening or supplementationare not necessary and may harm the
normal establishment of breastfeeding."
