Hi Everyone, I've been learning so much from the recent SNS thread. It makes me realize what a beginner I am though! I have a couple of really basic questions that I'm wondering if someone would be so kind as to address. 1) How do you determine the amount of breastmilk vs supplement that the baby is taking? Do you clamp the tube and do test weights and then open up the tube and see how much extra the baby takes? 2) I've only seen the starter SNS from Medela. It's all our hospital carries. I'm not sure what everyone is talking about when they refer to the vent. Can someone fill me in? 3) Is anyone able to recommend a good review article on supplementation devices/lactation aids? I have the info from Dr. Jack, but I'm wondering if there is anything to supplement (no pun intended) that..... Thanks! I don't know what I would do without this list!!
