Dear Barbie,
Just a sympathetic note from somebody who had it happen a little
differently.
I got a bottle of breastmilk out of our NICU fridge and checked the ID on
the bottle with another nurse, as our protocol states. As I headed toward
that baby, an alarm went off on a monitor, and I set the bottle of milk down
on a counter in order to take care of a baby having an apnea/bradycardia
spell. When I went back for the bottle of milk, another mother sitting
there had picked it up and fed it to her baby! Without reading the label,
of course. Because it was sitting there near her, she assumed it was her
milk. AAARGHH!
Anyway, we had to go through the whole routine of HIV testing, etc. etc. We
have a whole protocol that has to be followed for this. Fortunately both
mothers involved were very understanding.
Deanne
