Dear Friends: The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine has published the updated hypoglycemia protocol. I love it. I love how pasteurized donor milk is the first item listed as substitute nutrition. I love this bit at the end, that I have copied in full: "Healthy, full-term infants are programmed to make the transition from their intrauterine constant flow of nutrients to their extrauterineintermittent nutrient intake without the need for metabolic monitoring or interference with the natural breastfeeding process.(3) Homeostatic mechanisms ensure adequate energy substrate is provided to the brain and other organs,even when feedings are delayed. The normal pattern of early, frequent, and exclusive breastfeeding meets the needs of healthy full-term infants. Routine screening or supplementationare not necessary and may harm the normal establishment of breastfeeding." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fabulous work, Drs Wight and Marinelli and the whole Academy!!
