Greetings

Does anyone have any information on this,  I looked in the archives and
didn't find anything.

The baby is 1 week old, the mother 35, first baby, had breast changes in
pregnancy, but only able to express a couple cc's (with manual pump).
I've suggested she rent an electric for a few days, she is supplementing
at the breast with ABM.  Baby's face was quite bruised, was admitted to
NICU where she had IV's and ABM before being discharged to normal
nursery in about 8 hours.  She developed jaundice day 2 and a half and
went under the light for 36 hours, and is being supplemented at the
breast.  Someone suggested there may be a relationship with the delay in
her milk coming in with the DES.

We'll know later if it is just a delay, or lack of adequate stimulation
or actually insufficient breast development.  Also when she expresses,
milk comes from pores all around the base of the nipple, as well as from
the ducts on the tip of the nipple!!  Always something new!!!!
