For a followup on the baby with bloody stools.  Baby has  refused to drink
the predigested formula so nurses are tube feeding it to him.  Planning to
send him home tomorrow tube feeding the food.  MD told mom today that she is
the reason baby got so sick and this whole hospitalization is her fault for
continuing to breastfeed.  Baby is retaining formula and is not having
bloody stools.  MD told mom that if she pumps for 4 months, she can then try
the breast milk again.  Baby severely traumatized by whole process.  Nurses
told baby that since he wouldn't take the food the easy way that he would
have to take it the hard way.  Mom is heartbroken.  Me too.
