Our NICU is revising their policies regarding the use of kangaroo pumps 
(continuous feeding pumps) and breastmilk.  The questions center around the 
length of time that breastmilk could be at room temperature in the feeding 
pouch or "bag". Typically this is thawed breastmilk. Currently our policy 
indicates four hours.  Do any NICUs use a longer time frame ?  Would anyone 
be willing to share their policy information?
