    IrishIzCPNP replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You need to research the effects of formula. They are life long and can be severe. http://drjaygordon.com/pediatricks/startingout/supplement.html I'd prefer an iv over formula. That maintenance of...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Wow...just wow. Your opinion is so far from facts. That's what a pump is for? You seriously think moms should pump rather than feed at the breast? You clearly know very little about lactation....
