Yes, we do this in our NICU and Peds units.  The nurses even check the MRN
number which is placed on the label.  It all came about because a baby got
the wrong milk a couple of years ago.

Hello everyone,

I am a hospital based LC with an issue. We recently had a nurse feed a
newborn another mother breastmilk in error. It was brought to my attention
to have the policy revised. Has anyone herd of having to verify breastmilk
with 2 nurses (similar to blood verification) before infant feeding?

 

Thanks,

Brandi Thomas RN, CLC, mother of 3!!!
