Hello All,
In light of recent research showing a strong link between exposure to cow's
milk protein and Type I diabetes, I am looking to get my hospital's protocol
for neonatal hypoglycemia changed to include banked donor milk as an option.
If you look on the Academy of Bfdg Medicine Website, they have a clinical
protocol on supplementation of the breastfed infant, which states if baby is
unable to meet its needs by suckling at breast, and mom's pumped milk is not
sufficient to meet the need, that the next food in line for consideration
should be banked human milk.  Was I ever excited to find this document!

However, I recall learning that WHO ranks infant feeding as follows:
1. breastmilk received thru suckling at breast
2. Mom's own expressed milk, if baby can't latch, or needs additional
calories
3. Banked donor milk
4. Infant formula

Does anybody have the citation for the above?  I searched the WHO site, to
no avail.

Thanks in advance from
Martha Johnson RN IBCLC

PS: Your personal response to me is much appreciated!
