I know that one of the great mind out there will know the answer to this. I'm still working on using breastmilk for mouthcare on vented babies in NICU. How ever, I can't find any reference to the ability of breastmilk, if aspirated being absorbed in the lung not causing a problem as formula would. I know that someone said so at a conference. Do any of you have information about this. i'm really pushing breastmilk rather than water. I will be out until next Tuesday but will check when I return.
