After reading the last Lactnet digest on the Aussie hospital practice in the neonatal unit of testing pumped milk weekly and then about the breastmilk contamination conference; I realize I now have 3 wishes for the New Year or sooner! 1. From now on the neonatal units that test pumped milk weekly, must test infant formula weekly for bacteria counts!! And destroy the infant formula with high bacteria counts. Fair is fair. 2. From now on for every breastmilk contamination conference there has to be an infant formula contamination conference. In fact the ratio should be for every one breastmilk contamination conference, there should be 2 infant formula contamination conferences. 3. And for peace and compassion in the world (which begins with the way we mother our babies)..... Valerie W.
