Hi Everybody,
My daughter is about 32 weeks into her first pregnancy, has been on Insulin 
since about 7 weeks and is having a pretty complicated time so far. She is 
being seen at the Naval Hospital in Bremerton Washington. 
 
Her OB refused to write an RX for donor milk in case the baby has 
hypoglycemia unresolved by breastfeeding. He told her "a navy RX would not 
work at the milk bank". So we bypassed him and donor milk is now happily in 
my freezer in case of a hypoglycemic preemie. Today, she was seen by a 
resident physician. She mentioned that she secured the donor milk. This 
person ACTUALLY said "if your baby is hypoglycemic we will use synthetic food 
to treat it". My daughter then said, "I will not be giving my baby any formula". 
And this "doctor" then said, "Oh it isn't really formula". 

Can you hear me screaming?
