Hi everybody,

I've been lurking for a couple of weeks.  I've really enjoyed reading all the
informative posts.  My name is Andrine Nichols and I'm a La Leche League
Leader in Hawaii, with a background in nursing (of the LPN type).  My
question for anybody out there is what do you do for an engorged baby??  We
had a mother at our meeting today with a 3.5 week old boy (10 lbs at birth).
 The little guy had about a 1-1.5 inch rock hard circle around each nipple
that stuck out from the chest wall about 1/2 an inch.  The nipples looked
like dimples in the middle of the areola.  The breast tissue was not red or
hot, nor did the baby have a fever.  The breasts were tender and leaked what
looked like mature foremilk.  Any body have any experience with this??  Any
suggestions for this mother??
TIA                  Andrine
