Jeannie, What brand and where do you get the 8oz. bottle of olive oil? Is it a patient charge item? How much does it cost the hospital to purchase? I am curious about your using sterile olive oil. How does this heat treatment change the olive oil? Is it necessary to be sterile? or is clean okay? Do you use the heat treated olive oil or the cold pressed? Or does the heat treatment for sterilization negate the superior qualities of the cold pressed oil? We use a tiny bottle that our volunteer carefully fills with regular, grocery store olive oil and labels. I keep a plastic bag of them in the lactation office in maternity and give to mothers as needed. Sharing of such little details is great. Thank you.
