>difference? (48 hrs vs 8 days) We are just being hypervigilant for these
very fragile babies.
Just so we remember that the "conservative" food, in a pinch, comes from
Mom. Which would likely be worse for a very fragile baby - 72 hour
refrigerated human milk or formula because the 3-day-old human milk was all
the NICU had on hand from the mom? If I were a mom, I'd be horrified to
find that the NICU had plunked for formula in that case.
