Phillis: We have had many success' of babies breastfeeding S/P repair. We
have one surgeon who introduces feedings only on infant demand and feeds them
as much as they want. He doesn't put them on a schedual or an amount. What
they don't take is made up with TPN until they are on full feedings. The
babies are much more comfortable when not made to eat when they are not
interested. It just takes time.
