Hi, All: Our NICU clinical specialist forwarded to me a recommendation
from NANN (National Association of Neonatal Nurses) regarding using
breastmilk-soaked Q-tip swabs for performing oral care on NICU babies. Not
only would these swabs be used for oral care but also for pain relief for
painful/invasive procedures (BM substituted for the Sweetease currently
used in hospitals) and for babies who are presently mostly NPO. I believe
a hospital in Portland OR is doing this. Is anyone else using EBM in this
way in their practice setting? I certainly don't see any harm to the
practice. Our Director of Neonatology was asking my opinion yesterday and
says he has absolutely no problem with following this procedure. I told
him I would see if I could find more information. Anyone?
