Hi Sue!

Glad to see you on Lactnet.....

<< Working in a NICU of a suburban hospital has become very challenging
lately.
 Supplementation of term newborns receiving formula until their mothers milk
is
 in is being practiced without really questioning if this needs to be
 practiced. >>

Not to mention the absolute epidemic of hypoglycemia for which every baby is
receiving formula -- some of them in the LDR!!  Let me know if you are
interested in WHO's "white paper" on hypoglycemia which states that even
newborns "at risk" should not be tested for hypoglycemia for 4 to 6 hours
until they have stabilized!!

Jan B -- who is seeing the same frustrations you are...
