[ozmidwifery] gestational diabetes and antenatal ebm

[Marilyn Kleidon]

I remember some time ago one of the midwives on this list having a practice of having mothers with GDM express colostrum antenatally so it was available to feed the baby in the early postnatal period should the baby's BSLs be low. I have just been trying to search pubmed to find research on this practice and did not find any, can anyone help?   Just need the evidence to change practice.   thanks marilyn ----- Original Message ----- From: barbara glare & chris bright To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 11:11 AM Subject: [ozmidwifery] Breastfeedng Calendars Hi,   The Australian Breastfeeding Association's calendars are now available.  This year they are in full colour, and look gorgeous.  A fabulous way of promoting breastfeeding in your workplace, great gifts and just plain gorgeous to look at.
