Reading the paper this morning, I came across a side panel
insert with the haedline: Infection feared for first
octuplet.
It reads: Concerns about infection have prompted dr/s to
suspend the feeding of breastmilk to the first of the seven
octuplets del. Dec.20.  Tests retunned Thurs. on Chidi Louis
showed the possibility of infection, according to the drs. at
Texas Children's Hosp.,one of the six girls, is receiving
antibiotics.
Gorom, the last born girl,had been the only baby not
receiving breast milk but was to begin receiving minute
amounts Fri. to supplement her intravenous feeding.

Now this is great that we know the babies are getting breast
milk but does the way it's worded imply that the infection is
related to the breast milk?  Or is it too early and I'm
reading more into it?
