> I'm a LC at a hospital with a level 3 nursery.  Is everyone out there
recommending to moms with preterm infants less than 32 weeks gestation to
freeze EBM for 3-5 days to limit growth of potential CMV in thier milk?
or
are you using fresh milk if available?  Are you routinely screening these
moms for CMV and only freezing EBM if seropositive?  What's everybody
doing?
