Dear Lacnetters: I LOVE THIS! Just wanted to introduce myself with enthusiasm. My name is Kim McDonald. I am an RN in a level III NICU and an IBCLC wanna-be (I write this year) I also have a 15 month old BF (You're still...what? as my friends say) My question is... I'm wondering what kind of protocols other NICU's have for warming fresh/frozen EMM. We warm and refrigerate ours up to 3X and do not test for "bugs" and wonder if this is the best way to do things. Glad to be aboard, Kim McDonald Chedoke McMaster Hospitals Hamilton, Ontario Canada [log in to unmask]
