Hi All,
Please forgive the late post. I am just now catching up after preparing to
speak at OBGYN Conference her in Mobile, AL. This was my first big
conference to speak at on Breastfeeding, of course, with 3 other Lactations
specialist.
I seem to remember hearing Dr. Paula Meire talking about his same topic. If
my memory serves me, she or one of her graduate students was doing a study
on this in their unit in Chicago, IL. The paper was to be release later
last year. Since I was working in a Level 3 NICU it really caught my
attention since I had not heard of this. You might try contacting her and
see if her research has been published yet.
Hope this helps.

I'm sorry (no, I'm not really sorry -- it just seemed like a good start to
the sentence.) This sort of stuff drives me bonkers. Now tell me. Why a
PROTOCOL for mouth care??? Why do they need research for mouth care?
These
babies are NPO. Adults/children who are NPO get mouth care using
lemon-glycerin
swabs. Should we not provide the same comfort to babies? And, should we
use lemon-glycerin swabs? I would think NOT. Why not? Because babies, up
until 6 months, should not have anything put into their mouths but HUMAN
MILK.
Therefore, it stands to reason that mouth care is good for humans. And for
babies, mouth care should be done w/ human milk.
WHERE IN THE WORLD IS COMMON SENSE???????
Truly, folks, common sense DOES have a place in taking care of human
beings.
I think half the medical profession has forgotten to use the sense God gave
them.
ARGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
