Our new manager for the NICU is talking about gettingbedside warmers for the 
brest milk. Is anyone doing this? I think it will be too much heat but have been 
asked to look into this.
 Also  are you sill using test weights for breat fed babies intake. Our Neos push 
so much  formula  on these kids that if a baby is getting one ounce from mom 
and they are saying the baby shhould get 46 ml the stafff will still give the 16 
mls to make the difference up. We have babies that are taking 50mls at each 
feeding  on the 2nd and third dayof life. A new mother isn't making that muich 
at each feeding. but if they don't keep it down they don't go home till the 
keep up with the progressive feeds. 
Thanks for any help
