hi i will be talking to neonatal nurse practitioners in nicu settings about bf and use of meds. i am interested in hearing especially from the pharmacology gurus on the list, other nnps, neonatologists, and nicu nurses about what particular issues give the most trouble re bf and meds in that setting. for example, it is pretty straightforward to say it is ok to bf on ibuprofen for the healthy term infant. but what would be the special considerations for the LBW and VLBW infant (small premies), for example any ductus closure issues. any other special considerations you think i should address for the very small or sick baby. thanks.
