Hi all -

I am in need of written BFing info for a mom/family that Arly and I have
worked with.  She is Korean, and while she speaks English seemingly well, it
seems as though she's missing the "big picture."  At 2+ weeks, this baby
hasn't gained anything, and actually looks to be wasting away.  He's very
fussy.  I took a Korean nurse with me to a home consult, but it seems as
though this sweet mom is still missing some important cues.  The baby gulped
at breast for a few minutes, but swallowing soon stopped and baby came off,
fussing.  He had an additional 3 oz. formula after nursing, and then settled
down.  Mom too quickly refers to him as being "fussy" and "difficult."  I
really think he's just plain hungry.  I wrote down feeding info, and asked
her to count wet/dirty diapers.  Unfortunately, she still thinks that he's
constipated cause he's not pooping much.  I think he just isn't getting
enough food.

Is there something out there in her native language (general baby info would
be great too) that I can get ahold of FAST?  Thanks!

Janet
