I am interested to know how other hospitals are offering supplements to
there infants.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
in a hospital w/~ 30 births a day: ......if bottle nipple hopefully NUK
type, occasionally cup or finger, but only in some situations, (gavage would be
in NICU for babies not allowed to feed otherwise yet),
......but increasingly the method is *at breast* w/5fr feeding tube
w/syringe or bottle attached, sometimes with a curved tip syringe at breast,
....teaching these skills to staff is done in orientation and inservices and
one-on-one.
....if cannot latch, 5fr at shield would be a better option than bottle
nipple as long as mom/parents are accepting of this and most often they are,
....................
Just this week one of the neonatologist that I had not even met yet *ran*
down the hall behind me to catch me as I was leaving a family centered care
unit to ask me to teach a mom how to supplement *at breast* before she would be
taking her baby home.
