Margie,

Any news on this little one?

<<  I received a call today from the new hospital dietitian
 (also a peer counselor).  She is involved with a case that requires my help.
 There is a 4 week old baby who was readmitted following a 2 1/2 pound weight
 loss from birth, in acidosis, fontanels sunken, mucus membranes dry.  This
 baby had been exclusively bottle fed since birth, and had kept very little
 down.  The baby also suffers from watery diarrhea.

         The reason for the call?  The PICU doctor wants mom to relactate,
since baby
 can't keep formula down. >>


Kind regards
