Beth asked of a doc's information: <<EBM was different than directly-nursed milk, and that it was more effective in treatment of jaundice.>>

The milk's not different. How could it be? What might be different is the volume obtained, since many young babies have slightly impaired suck from birth insults. So pumping in addition to breastfeeding might be an excellent suggestion for this mom. Good strategy, slightly off-the-mark rationale IMHO. Sounds like someone who needs a LITTLE more information and lots of support for being mostly correct.
