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,
