I am just catching up on my e-mail so have just read this line of history.
I do not have any medical advice but I would like to offer some practical
advice.
My son Nicholas was diagnosed with gastroenteritis at age 6 weeks. After
much mismanagement of pumping leading to stitches in my breast and areola I
wanted to give up BF. Thanks to a with it pediatrician, I continued with BF using
a supplement system to keep him at the breast that was not injured, while
still getting the thickened EBM and then yes unfortunately formula. However,
this did keep him at the breast, bypassing the problems we were seeing due to
the bottles. He did eventually go back to 'just' the breast and continued to
nurse until age 4. The supplementing system also helped to keep his feedings
within my 'control' so that the hospital staff could not just whisk him away.
This helped to reduce the stress on all of us and not surprisingly he started
to keep more down as his feeding processes were calmed down. I hope this
small experience might be helpful.
Peace,
Maggie Payne
