Hello, I'm new to Lactnet. My name is Mariza Fetters LPN, IBCLC. I've bee=
n married to a loving husband Randy for 14yrs . We are blessed to have a =
wonderful 9 yr old daughter whom I breastfed for 2 1/2  yrs. I have been =
a member of  LLLI for 9 1/2 years of which I was a co-leader for 4 yrs. I=
 am currently employed  and job share at a Children's Hospital in Ohio as=
 an IBCLC for the last 3 yrs. It is a Level III NICU and interact with mo=
thers of premature and  very ill infants. We promote and provide breastfe=
eding information and instruct our mothers who wish to initially provide =
breastmilk then eventually have their babies at breast before discharge.
We also deal with outside clients who are older breastfeeding infants, 40=
 weeks and older at our clinic, Pediatric floors and emergency room. Whic=
h leads me to my two somewhat similar questions which both occurred withi=

istory of plugged ducts, mastitis or yeast infection. Also no problems wi=
th delivery. Mom does however have a                                     =
                    history of fibrocystic breast which according to her =
MD has not recurred recently. Baby had numerous test done including a sco=
pe with normal results. Mom pumped for breastmilk while in the ER and obt=
ained 1 oz. from one breast with cloudy dark pink breastmilk which also h=
