hello all.  i am needing some quick answers.  i have searched the archives
and found nothing.  i met today with a mother due to be induced (36 weeks)
next wednesday due to c and d antibody incompatability.  it is likely that
this baby will get a transfusion after birth and also be jaundiced.  dr.
told me that mom had mid zone 2 amnios.  she also stated that it was likely
that this baby could not receive breastmilk for as long as 4-6 weeks.  is
this true or are there options?  what questions do i need to ask?  dr. is
very supportive of mom pumping and storing breastmilk until it can be used.

i am not a medical professional and this is something i have never dealt
with before.  what do i need to know to support this mother with
breastfeeding her baby?  please respond to list and privately so that i
receive reponses as quickly as possible.

thanks in advance,
