I have often said (tongue very slightly in cheek) that my twins were held
hostage in an NICU for 16 days.  They had no major problems other than being
34 wks, but couldn't gain weight if we followed the NICU's feeding schedule
for nursing.  So of course the solution offered was formula.  I finally
relented just so I could get them home, and tossed the formula in the trash
when we got home.
