Dear All,
I would like to get in touch with person(s) who have current knowledge, experience and guidelines for use of expressed human milk from HIV +ve mothers for babies in neonatal units ( neonatal special care units and neonatal Intensive care units) in low and middle income countries, especially in subSaharan Africa.
This is relevant only to use of human milk for babies who *cannot *accept direct breastfeeding.
Kindly link me up with relevant persons in order to have discussions.
Thank you,
Indira
