Dear fellow lactnetters, Several staff nurses have been using the "sweet-
ease" or 24% sucrose on the nipples to latch the babies when they don't
latch. In our facility we use the sucrose for painful procedures. I am
concerned about this . I feel that that sucrose is not the same as lactose
in the mothers milk and tht this could cause a problem for baby later on
in latching. I have tried an  archive and did not find info . Please send
me your thoughts. Thanks
