Dear Friends: Yesterday, when I was working with a pediatric nurse practitioner to understand her management of the big term baby with RDS/pneumonia, I asked her if she'd like a copy of Meier's research. She said, "No". She said she'd been working with babies like this for 30 years and that it wouldn't change her management of the case. I replied that I didn't expect her management of this case to change and thought that it might be interesting for her to see what some new research is showing. No go. My jaw stayed in place............at least on the outside! May I never, never close myself to hearing about something new or different. This baby, despite his breathing trouble, was hell-bent on breastfeeding, and had at least 4 bouts while he was s2s. I still can't understand why it is okay for him to suck a pacifier, but not his mother's breast. warmly, Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE Maternal-Child Adjunct Faculty Union Institute and University Film Reviews Editor, Journal of Human Lactation www.breastfeedingalwaysbest.com *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
