We have been mandated to change the brand of our HMF and are now facing a situation where we are having difficulties with "clumping". I believe it was Linda Smith who stressed the fragility of the components in human milk and the impact of vigorous shaking in breaking down the "links" between the components. When I go in the NICU feeding preparation room and see the nurses shaking forever to get the HMF dissolved I just cringe. This was not an issue previously and I'm looking for answers. I would also be interested in hearing from anyone regarding their reasons behind choosing one HMF over another. Thanks for any help you can give me Kathy English RN,BSN,IBCLC ____________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
