Hello again lactnetters;

Thought I had better say THANK YOU to everyone for all your ideas and
suggestions to my post on May 10th, 2000 about this poor vomiting baby who
was placed on soy formula and had stopped all vomiting------this mother
would absolutely not reconsider resuming breastfeeding after having 3 days
of no vomiting on the soy formula.  I continued to follow her up to be sure
that this precious baby was still tolerating the soy formula, and that the
mother possibly might reconsider nursing.  The father had some say in this
situation as well---he definitely did not want this baby back to the breast
after all that they went through for about 2 weeks [of vomiting]. I fully
understand and respect their decision, and the mother continued to consult
with me for assistance with her abrupt weaning---and luckily enough that
went smoothly and uneventful. So ends another sad chapter of my lactation
challenges; but I thank you all again as this has been an unfortunate but
learning experience for all of us I'm sure.  And I hope the next time if
this happens again that the mother/father involved will consult with me [ or
some other KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON IN LACTATION ] first before the doctor gets
is opportunity to introduce the ABM---soy or otherwise !


ALSO

Here's my other question that I posted earlier in May 2000, but
unfortunately I did not get any responses :

My chiropractor, who is very supportive of breastfeeding and sees alot of
possible "celiac" patients in her practice, would like some info ( and
references if possible) on the question " Does cow's milk contain glutens
and wheat proteins, as they are primarily grain fed ? " and " Are these
glutens and wheat proteins transferred into human milk when the nursing
mother drinks cow's milk ? " Both she and her husband are chiropractors and
do alot of dietary counselling in their hollistic practice.

Many thanks for this rather 'different' question that does tie-in
breastfeeding.

Sincerely,
Barbara Montague   RN  IBCLC
