I am having the same problem with one of the Neo's in my unit. He is also
very
"very hard headed." He had a mom to stop breastfeeding because "baby was
allergic to breastmilk". Mom had been encouraged to continue pumping until
baby is
a little older.
In a different light. I think that I have convinced the Group of Neo's to
start introducing a little colostrum very early in the NICU course.
Sometimes progress is very slow in our unit, but we are moving forward.
