Jacqueline and others
I realize the criteria as you mentioned and we have one more added on to that for babies born to moms who are on anti hypertensive drugs. I did not mean just because they had a c/section. Our protocols usually say 2 ours after birth if they fit the criteria whether it be vaginal delivery or c/section. But is there any good recent research how much milk whether it be breastmilk, formula or colostrum needs to be given?. I keep seeing a full ounce being given and sometimes more so that they get the sugars up to prevent starting an IV. and that amount two hours after birth and already bases on the body weight. Is that a correct tool or is that a formula based tool?
