I beleive that
practitioners who use this additive, especially with later date premies like
32+ wks, are not well read about the proper use and are getting most of
their info from the formula sales people. (my opinion). I also beleive that
these same practitioners are not well experienced with bf + premies and just
don't trust that bf or even ebm will properly nourish the babies. 

I am really tired of people suggesting that I (and other neonatologists like 
me) do not support breastfeeding because we use the available best evidence to 
support optimal growth for our premies going home.  Marsha - I love you and 
all you do - but you are NOT a neonatologist nor a dietician (that I am aware 
of).  Premies were never meant to survive!!!  Feeding them anything but 
amniotic fluid is non-physiologic!  I NEVER talk with salespeople - except to tell 
them to leave the unit!
