I'm curious if I missed some posted comments on the Pedialyte-only for one
whole week case?  I received a couple of private emails, but  far fewer than
I expected.  Has anyone else out there had parents decide that exclusive
Pedialyte feeding was okay for a week (in a 7 week old)?

BTW, we've turned this around so that the baby is now having many successful
nursing sessions at the breast.  The night I saw the baby I had to resort to
the "F" word (formula that is) to get him beyond the starving state so we
could latch him on.  I rarely do this, but the child was pooping clear
purple grape Pedialyte.

Let me know if I'm just working on another planet or something. <g>
