Breastmilk contains neurotophins and mesenchymal stems cells - Keller et al. report their case control study of nasal administration of fresh maternal expressed milk in @EurJPediatrics with intriguing results https://t.co/AiP1SMYYaJ #neoEBM #FOAMneo #EBNEOalerts

@nkrumcakes @SBMPediatrics @chadhayesmd It gets better. That said, an underrated expenditure is a postpartum doula. Some loving support, without the family or friend drama. Highly recommend!

@medicalaxioms Super cool, but I don’t know about that for a pumping room. A pumping room should be welcoming for folks whose babies are in NICU, and/or who may need to exclusively pump. Could be a depressing/emotional image to see for those moms.

@nursekelsey Helping a new parent successfully feed their baby for the first time, however they choose to do that. And seeing their confidence as a parent grow.

Today in my role as nurse I wore many hats. Let me tell you a story about how the day went... #NurseLife

Came in this am to discover my pt from yesterday had imaging overnight that revealed catastrophic injuries, along with her sepsis and multi-system organ failure

@strayBlossom @DrJenGunter Yes to this!! And if every HCP could please read at least these two books on this topic!

@Socalmegan @pmeganb Worst book ever written. Totally works. That’s how I quit too! Congrats!

@NurseNoFilter Love the idea. For any BSNs wanting to work in Europe I give this advice: write a thesis at some point in your studies. I can’t work here because my degree isn’t “equivalent”, as we USA BSNs generally don’t write a thesis.

@dateswhitecoats @theBSinBSN Actually saw an RCT that one to two pepto tablets a day prevented travelers diarrhea. Worked for me in Peru. And it’s handy anyway, & not available in Europe.

@CatherineIsaac_ @CampAmerica69 Can I post the before?

@CatherineIsaac_ The Secret? Does it at have that bit? 😂

@DrGRuralMD Interesting discussion for me right now, as I sit the IBLCE in a couple weeks! :)

[Tazzy Topotales @topotales]

@DrGRuralMD I looked into this last night too. Couldn't find a reliable-source comparison between overall casein levels but alphaS-1 is lower in goat. Here's an interesting article in the BJM from 2015, have a look. What were your other concerns? https://t.co/FcZ5UJuJrK
