Lisa, go to the spin(supporting premature infant nutrition) at the website of ucsd, you'll find pdf for "nicu" graduate nutrition plan. The forms are very helpful. Let me know what you think.

He states these babies need more calcium and magnesium than is provided in breastmilk for bone mineralization. He has research to back this up that was given to him by the formula rep. Anyone else doing this in their NICU? Does anyone know any research that would support exclusively breastfeeding these babies? If these babies truly need these nutrients can they be given other ways?
