Several months ago I researched the current data on how to best manage the Near Term Babies (35 to 37 6/7 weekers). The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine published their suggested management of these babies. I'd suggest reviewing their recommendations to help you develop guidelines for your facility. It is extra work for the nurses and moms, but I have seen definite long-term breastfeeding success by following these guidelines. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
