I work in a hospital in Columbus,Ohio and would like to know if anyone who  
works in a hospital allows mom that are positive for THC breastfeed or pump 
for  a baby in the NICU. Our NICU docs are OK with mom pumping and giving 
the  breastmilk positive for THC for the micro premature babies, the risk of 
NEC is  too high and they feel the milk is still OK for these babies.  Any 
thoughts  either way would be helpful to me. If your facility allows this, 
what kind of  protocol do you have and how are you covering your license on 
this since THC in  OHIO is illegal and this goes against Standards of Practice 
for our RN license  and THC is considered a level 5 drug  by Hale and AAP.
