Hi Julianne,
I would be very interested to see the document for mothers (I’m guessing from JHH). I recently had a sister in law have a baby of 2kg at my local hospital. The care was appalling and the information provided to her in printed for was shocking.

> Hello Everyone

> I've been off the lactation radar for quite some time (mainly health problems) and feeling quite nervous about posting, as my confidence is below par. Nevertheless my passion has never waned and I've managed to stay certified since 1993 and will remain so until 2018. My private practice consults are few and far between. That being said, I have had 3 home-visit consults in the past month.
>
> Most recently saw a young mum whose baby was born at 37.1 wks. My extensive search to find consensus as to what age parameters constitute a 'late preterm baby' have been frustrating to say the least.
>
> The nearest public teaching hospital to me have only just developed (August 2016) a draft information document produced for mums - they describe 'late preterm and/or low birth weight' as '35-37 weeks and/or less than 2.5kg'.
>
> Most of the major hospitals in my state seem to be mostly adhering to the ABM Protocol 10.
>
> Does anyone know if there is a more recent definition?
>
> Any help would be greatly appreciated.

> Whew! Finally back on Lactnet!
