How many gestational weeks of age, or what does the weight of a baby need to be to switch from a 22 calorie ABM to mother's own milk for following with after breastfeeding? I am asking about discharging preterm babies.If some babies need more nutrients and calories after hospital discharge, It seems they may be sent home with instructions to use 22 calorie ABM for a certain amount of weeks instead of breast milk fortifier that is used in hospitals. I have heard of some babies taking 22 calorie ABM for months. Thank you all for sharing. I have learned volumes from you.
