Hi All,
My name is Gerri Shames and I am an RN and IBCLC living and working in Jerusalem, Israel.
I am very happy to re-join this list after being absent for a few years!
I tried a search, but came up a bit lacking...
I am seeing a mother of twin boys who are now almost 3 months old. She is BFing beautifully and also pumping to give herself a break once a day.
Weight gain good. One baby is a much stronger nurser than the other (they were born 36 wks.)
Her problem: repeated engorgement of one breast.
I tried putting the 'stronger' baby on that breat to better drain it, but that didn't work. Neither did putting the 'weaker' baby on it to decrease milk supply on that side. I am a bit at a loss- not anywhere as much as the Mom who is getting frantic.
Any advice, please?
Thanks so much,
Gerri
