Subject: [LACTNET] Supplementing the Hypoglycemic Newborn
**Hi Tanya,
At this time, our director is not willing to allow nurses syringe or cup
feeding due to the risk of aspiration or perforation of the palate.
**If you would use a silicone finger feeder on top of a syringe, I would
think the risk of perforation of the palate to be reduced to zero...
When I suggested paced bottle-feeding with a slow-flow nipple, management
frowned because the baby needs to be fed quickly to get that sugar up.
**Hmmm, pretty weird, right...? Do they also stand with a stopwatch next to
a baby that's breastfeeding, telling it to hurry up getting that colostrum
out, to make sure he raises his blood sugar...? :-s
We are a busy hospital and do not have 24 hour-a-day LC coverage. Any
suggestions on how to please the parents who don't want bottles used while
treating their hypoglycemic newborn?
**I would say, as may be concluded from the above: a finger feeder on a
syringe.
Good luck!
Kindly,
Marianne Vanderveen, Netherlands
