Dear Stefan,

Will it be possible for you to upload the " Swedish National Recommendation regarding handling of breast milk in neonatal care units" -once you mentioned in a reply thread in this forum.

It could be of great help.

Love.

Roy.

I do not have the document in PDF unfortunately, and the guidelines are not longer availabel on the web, probably due to a revision process going on.

The only web page online seems to be the references: http://www.vardhandboken.se/Texter/Brostmjolkshantering/Referenser/

There you find ref's to guidelines in English (UK and US)

But, I found cached web pages on Google (today's Big Brother...)

Thanks Dear,

But in near future if the pdf will be available [perhaps it will not be difficult to get it in english -with the mercy of the Big Brother!]please don't forget to share with us.

Love,

Roy.

The guidelines are now online but only in Swedish. Try to use Google translate:

I found this thread very useful for nicu day to day practice.Thanks for providing some guide lines.We use EBM of same mother as fresh as possible.Store excess Of EBM(express breast milk) in the frige at 4 degree celcius for period of maximum 24 hr.frozen milk thawn with water bath at room temperature before use & discared the rest(unused).We do not use Donor milk because of medicolegal issue.
