I was hoping that someone might help with this problem. A new patient, in the
practice in which I work, has concern for her second baby that she is
expecting. She stated that she had a condition with her first child that her
previous pediatrician said was "breast milk fever." It is caused by an excess
of sodium in her colostrum. This excess causes the baby to have a fever. The
cure is to nurse using an SNS with pedialyte in it. He stated to her that he
had done work in this area and is published. The physician is in the La Jolla
area in California. I have never heard of this condition. I searched the
archives and the only reference was about a breast infection, not a condition
in the baby. Has anyone else ever heard of this or read anything about this
condition? Please reply privately.
Thank you, Camille Edmunds
