Dear Kate,

Could you please, for my benefit, and for some others perhaps, too, give us
an illustration of a baby with beta strep infection? What would we notice
about these infants, if they were becoming septic. I know what a septic baby
would be at the later stage, very ill, lethargic, not feeding, etc...but are
there any warning signs that we, as health professionals, could notice early
on as we work with breastfeeding infants?

Thank you. Kathleen
