Here's some good news! :-)
Got this off the AOL news service. It is just a snip of the full story.

<<<<The babies are being fed a combination of premature baby formula and
mother's milk provided by Mrs. McCaughey.

``It's hard for mom to supply milk for all of them,'' Bzdega said.

Mrs. McCaughey's milk helps the babies develop their immune system, which
like their lungs and digestive systems, is underdeveloped. They are more
susceptible to infections than a full-term baby.

All seven are being fed through a tube. Babies develop the ability to
coordinate breathing, sucking and swallowing at 34 to 36 weeks of
gestation.>>>>

Who did put a topic for her last post but doesn't know why it didn't show up
on Lactnet. Hope this one does!
