Re: [ozmidwifery] insulin dependant diabetics
Hi Maxine, At Townsville Hospital, women who are insulin dependant see the lactation consultant ante-natally and if they are planning to breast feed, she discusses the option of expressing and freezing in case her baby needs it. These babies always go to the nursery for observation and get regular blood glucose tests done. I think they start expressing from 36 weeks but not if a history of prem labors. Hope this helps. regards Linda - Original Message - From: Maxine Wilson To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 10:11 PM Subject: [ozmidwifery] insulin dependant diabetics Has anyone any information they can share regarding the management of newborns of insulin dependent diabetics? In particular I am looking for information regarding prenatal expressing of colostrum in order to feed it to the babe in place of formula. If anyone knows of any hospital that is doing this I would really appreciate some leads that I can follow up as I have a client in this situation who is trying to expand her options. Maxine

Title: Message Hi, At Redcliffe I actually encourage IDDM/GDM's on insulin women to express prior to OT if I am OT list for the day. It may only be a few mils/drops but I have found that this usually satisfies the infant, no formula sups required generally.Essential that the mum's BGL were well controlled prior to OT if IV infusions are to be avoided in the infant. I first read about doing this on this list about 12 months ago, referenced from somewhere. cheers Barb -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Philippa ScottSent: Thursday, 30 March 2006 8:52 PMTo: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.auSubject: RE: [ozmidwifery] insulin dependant diabetics I have heard Townsville Hospital recommend it.

I forgot, I cant see that anyone would have a problem with her bring in her frozen colostrum if she is lucky enough to get a stash pre-natally (I could have filled a few bottles before I had mine!). Cheers, Kate
