I work at a hospital with a Level 3 NICU. Some of the nurses are warming
breastmilk up by using the hot water from a hot water machine that heats
water for tea and hot chocolate. This water gets to the temperature of
178 degrees F. My question is there research out giving what is too hot
of water to warm breastmilk.
I am new to this hospital and want to give the staff standards with
research.
Warmly, Debbie Costello
