Lactnetters,

It has been a long time since I posted.  I am breastfeeding advocate and
have been contacted regarding a post-op cardiac baby.  The medical staff is
very concerned that the baby won't "get enough or gain enough".  After
searching the archives and LLL's info database, I haven't been able to find
anything regarding breastfeeding a baby after heart surgery.  If there are
any good resources, books, articles, references etc. that you could point
me to I would be very grateful. I would especially appreciate a reference
to the study regarding breastfeeding vs. bottlefeeding and oxygen
consumption.  Thanks in advance.
