Colostrum expressed to a spoon and given to baby is the best idea, SNS would require a volume -after mom's milk comes in an SNS is more appropriate or if using donor milk.

So I am not crazy? that is definitely very reassuring, as everybody were 
looking at me as if i do have 2 or 3 heads.

Now, what EBM (evidence-based medicine, not expressed breast milk) data 
I can present to the hospital to stop this nonsense?
Can anyone share the supplementation protocols from their hospital?

Unfortunately the ABM protocol on supplementation is not very helpful 
here as it is talking about supplementation methods in general, even it 
does admits that SNS is not as easy to use.

Please, help!
