<<Breastfeeding a Down Syndrome Baby
    From: [log in to unmask]

My wife and I just had our first baby..Reilly.  He is beautiful and has Down
Syndrome.  We really want to breastfeed him.  He has only gotten breastmilk
thus far...he is 20 days old today.  He is getting the milk from a gavage tube
and or the bottle and he is trying hard on the breast but is struggling.  We
were wondering if you know of some resources we could look into regarding
breastfeeding Down Syndrome babies...any help would be great...thanks!

John and Emily
