>Heather reports that she is concerned and knows that this is NOT normal.


Royce: no....it wasn't me with the original case, by the way, and I 
did not say it was 'NOT normal'.

What I felt was certainly not normal wasn't so much the  baby (though 
the lack of stools was worth being concerned and watchful about) but 
the mother's behaviour - 60 oz of stored EBM *on day 5* (a lot of 
expressing, not a lot of feeding) and the mother being 'too miserable 
to nurse' (despite the baby being alert and happy).

That was what was worrying me, and what I was linking to potential 
problems with the baby.

Happy, effectively feeding *mothers* don't collect that much EBM in 5 
days, and they are not 'too miserable to nurse'.
