IMHO what the peds said is ridiculous!
Routinely in use, with neonates-even prems, is Kayexalate - it binds potassium and draws it out of the body through the gut. I would think the baby's potassium levels will need to be monitored closely no matter what the feeding method.

Sadly shaking my head at this one,
