Dear fellow lactnetters, Several staff nurses have been using the "sweet- ease" or 24% sucrose on the nipples to latch the babies when they don't latch. In our facility we use the sucrose for painful procedures. I am concerned about this . I feel that that sucrose is not the same as lactose in the mothers milk and tht this could cause a problem for baby later on in latching. I have tried an archive and did not find info . Please send me your thoughts.
