Alright, let's discuss the reasons why babied fuss.  Have you heard this
one....  I spoke with a mom today who's 2 day old cried for 5 hours straight.
 She called the doc, brought the baby in for an exam.   The baby's blood was
drawn and the mother was told that the results of the blood work showed her
to have salty colostrum which causes the baby's liver to have a hard time
thus  causing the baby to fuss until the milk comes in and the chemistry
settles down.  When she called I asked if she'd like to schedule a
consultation and she said no, all she wants to know is what to drink so that
her colostrum will not be as salty!
