Our mothers have been using with 800 gram preemies and not finding problems for the babies. -----Original Message----- From: Lactation Information and Discussion [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lisa Jones Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 4:44 AM Subject: herbals and the premi Looking for insights Have things changed? We have a group of new LCs not used to the premi population who are recommending use of Mothers Milk Teas, Nettle, Fennel, etc. We're talking Level 3 NICU patients, so I'm not really comfortable with these recommendations. I also am uncomfortable with hospital based LC's not clearing these recommendations via the neonatologists. Their answer is that books , LLL etc. say the use is ok- I say the books are written for the general term population and not a 1500 gm premie. Am I just getting old and grumpy?
