Oh Pamela, how devastating for everyone - sounds like you handled the
situation beautifully though. Well done.
My query is about the quantities of breastmilk you've suggested. Current
literature averages daily intake in the first 24 hrs as something like 48
ml total for the 24 hrs.
Obviously if you've got the advantage of more colostrum than that then I,
too, would give as much as I could get. It's just the expectation that a
woman must produce 210ml (av 3.5kg baby x 60ml) of colostrum in her first
day that I have problems with.
Keep up the good work with her - whatever the outcome I'm sure your
attitude and caring will be something she'll remember forever.
