First of all, thanks to all who responded to my request for suggestions to
help mom who's relactating due to her baby's allergies!  An update:  baby
took the breast this am with SNS, after minimal fussing, according to mom.
Took both breasts, approx. 2 ozs from SNS each, total 4 ozs.  Later took only
one breast with SNS, then refused to relatch; mom plans to try again.
Cautioned her re forcing baby to take but first congratulated her for this
big success!  She is seeing another Ped, BF friendly and knowledgeable, and
has baby on Nutramagen and Alimentum, though giving Nut. as baby doesn't like
tast of other but says Ped suggested mixing to cover taste of one baby
refuses(she hasn't done this yet.  She is pumping every 2 hrs with double
elec. and sl increase in drops obtained, they now go down to bottom of
container; she feels MER, as well.  Reglan use is being tapered after two
weeks 30 mg/day; also taking hops, m. milk tea (not my sugg) and due to her
environmental allergies afraid to try capsules of fenugreek(I sugg not to)
nor bl thistle (I sugg she try).

Ped states, according to mom, that he is reluctant to use banked milk as
supplement because tho screening done, Hep B and C can come up false neg if
mom just contracted within less than month of when she donates.  My
question-is this accurate?  I couln't find info re this in texts on
lactation.  I'd like to know so I can talk with him after the holiday.  He
told mom he'd consider human banked milk as last resort if formula causes
prob and mom still in process of relactating.

Appreciate your input.  Any other resources where I could look?  Thanks!
