I had a new variation on "The dog ate my homework" today.  A mum
called the postpartum floor while I was doing my LC rounds.  She has
been using a feeding tube to supplement her 10 day old at the breast
and she wanted to  know where to get another tube because "the cat
ate the tube".

Not funny really, but unusual.  Of course I strongly encouraged her
to come in to the clinic and get the baby assessed, consider herbs
or meds to increase her milk etcetera.  She had been given the
feeding tube at the Peds for "not enough milk" and no further
follow-up. Baby is getting 8 oz. of ABM per day at the breast. She
thinks she saw an LC at the Peds office but just the one visit.
Yikes. Hope she comes in but we'll see.
