PTP
A woman who is pregnant with her third child has been diagnosed with
anti-E-iosoimmunization. (She is a carrier, and so is this baby's father.
Her other children are by a previous marriage and were not affected.)
This is, apparently, a very rare condition, which could lead to severe
jaundice in a newborn. She is looking for information on management of her
pregnancy and breastfeeding. Almost all of the information online require
journal subscriptions, and breastfeeding is not even mentioned. Is there
anything else she should be aware of beyond the usual jaundice management.
She is committed to nursing this baby.
Please email me privately as well as to the list if you have any
information that can help.
