Greetings all! As a dietitian within the NICU, I am working with the OTs, Lactation Consultant, and Nurse practitioners to attempt to affect practice regarding transitional feeding. Currently babies are transitioned to bottle feedings before breastfeeding trials which, as you know, conflicts with Paula Meier's research. Can anyone provide insight as to how you have approached this subject in the NICU to the neonatologists and nurses to begin practicing according to the latest research and start breastfeeding first? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
