Hi Lactnuts, I am an occasional poster and a dedicated lurker. I work in a Level 3 NICU as an RN and I am also a IBCLC who covers for the
regular LC from time to time. Believe me, times are a changin' for our NICU kids as some of you know, there is no such thing as going home
exclusively brestfeeding if you started out in life a preemie. Nowadays we send kids home on 2 or 3 bottles of Enfacare (or fortified EBM with
Enfacare powder) because preemies need to catch up with extra protein and other good stuff. It took me a long time to come to grips with this
latest "findings" that breastmilk is yet again not good enough but in some ways I can see that preemies are a different population and in the old
days they just didn't survive. Now for my question - I have searched the archives and would like to find the standardized breastfeeding handout
that ather hospitals use. Not the one for term kids going home from the Mother/ Baby unit but one that addresses the special need of mom's of
preemies and sick kids who have spent weeks in the hospital (getting alot of bottles). I would like not to have to reinvent the wheel. Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Laura (in beautiful Hawaii, home of Kaiser Permanente - the 2nd Baby Friendly hospital in the USA.
