It’s NICU awareness month and as the month unwinds we cannot let it go by not celebrating our strong Moms and Babies, you’re doing an amazing job. Love and light to you all 🤎🤎🤎 TREAT EVERY CHILD RIGHT AND KIND #Repost• beautyiskherim 💜It’s NICU Awareness Month, and I want to help other moms who are working on feedings! #ProlactaPartner After going through my first neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) experience with Gem, I knew the challenges she faced when they started adding a cow milk–based fortifier to my breastmilk. And even though my son Jax weighed 3 lbs when he was born, he still experienced the same feeding issues we had with Gem. As their mother, I know breastmilk is the best form of nutrition for all babies, especially premature babies. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends adding a “human milk fortifier” to mother’s own milk or donor milk for preemies weighing 3.3 lbs or less to provide the additional calories and protein preemies require for catch-up growth. There are two kinds of fortifiers available: cow milk–based and breastmilk–based. Both kinds are labeled “human milk fortifier,” but only those from Prolacta Bioscience are made with 100% donor breastmilk. 💜If my micropreemie and preemie would have received Prolacta’s fortifiers made from 100% donor breastmilk instead of cow milk, we likely could have avoided the feeding complications, and Gem and Jax may have come home from the NICU sooner. Studies have shown preemies can go home significantly earlier — as many as 22 days sooner — when Prolacta’s fortifiers are added to mother’s own milk or donor milk. Many families don’t know there is an alternative to cow milk fortifier in the NICU. I’m partnering with @prolacta_bioscience to help raise awareness. We want moms to be educated so that they know to ask for Prolacta’s 100% human milk–based fortifiers by name. • • • • #NICUAwarenessMonth #preemiebaby #NICUnutrition #NICUbaby #preemiemom #prolacta #prolactabioscience #humanmilkfortifier #humanmilk #preemiepower #NICUmom #NICU Repost: @terkbabies https://www.instagram.com/p/CFusitUjEHR/?igshid=ww9dcbiaf65q
