Fritzi--

I'm not currently an NICU person, but I recently did a ceu class on
breastfeeding the low birth weight infant and found several articles
while preparaing that class which might be of help to you.

You might want to look at the following articles:

The ones with *** I think had forms or some information that I thought
would be really relevant to the development of policy and forms in an
NICU.  I worked at U of Oregon years and years ago when we were first
doing infant transports.
