As an EPing mom and IBCLC, I belong to an online discussion list and the
topic of mixing MOM and AIM comes up often, esp. for those moms whose supply
is not up to baby's intake. The theory is that baby will take the mixed feed
better than straight formula.
My concerns are if baby doesn't finish the feed, the MOM mixed into the feed
gets tossed and mixing the two can decrease lysosyme in the MOM.(Quan R et
al., Clinical Pediatrics, 1994)
I seek other reasons not to mix the two from my fellow lactnetters.
Thanks!
