No, sorry, I do not know of a way to make xtree smart breastfed babies dumb
enough to want solids before they are ready for them. That breastfeeding IQ
advantage is hard to overcome.

((*O*))Feeling sassy tonite.

Here's why:

1) private practice LC calls re one of her clients in hospital postop pyloric
stenosis repair, surgeon ordered ABM and stated to parents his preference was
formula, do not give breastmilk, - mom is pumping 3-4 oz/session. Talked with
RN who will call surgeon to asertain his rationale for formula preference.

2) G2P2mom concerned about poor latch: frenulum to tip - shown to mom, she
also watched digital suck exam, tongue jutting back and forth like crazy.
Possible implications explained to mom who THEN says ped told her tongue tie
does not effect BF and don't let anybody tell you it could. Oh well, too late.

3) New fundal pressure labor assist device for women with epidural to shorten
second stage and prevent C/S: Placed round abdomen, pump, pump, pump it up,
and we are outta there!
