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.
