Hi All,
One of my dear friends had HELLP and delivered at 30 weeks. Her baby is doing well in the NICU, gaining weight off breastmilk and moms is doing a great job pumping 8-10 times per day and I have shared with her the Stanford Univ video on pumping and using your hands.
I am wondering who I might reach out to in regards to feeding and premie babies. Who is the specialists or the best known hospital NICU with great pro-BF practices. Encouraging her to question some of their practices and hoping for a first breastfeed instead of a first bottle.
Any help is most appreciated!
Bonnie Logsdon, RD and hopefully soon to be IBCLC
(taking my IBCLC exam in 4 days!!!!!!!!!!!!)
