Hi everyone!

Mom due April 6, baby born Jan. 23.  Now weights 3 lbs.  Mom has been pumping
with a hospital grade.  Great supply!  She pumps at 5am, 8 am, 11 am, 2 pm, 5
pm, 8 pm and 1 am.  Is now pumping 40-48 oz/day.  She is really concerned
about losing her supply later.  The LCs at the hospital have suggested that
she start phasing out the 1 am feeding by trying to do without pumping until
2 am the first night, then 3 am the second night and so on . . .Mother wants
to know what the general feeling is about this suggestion. I do to!  Baby is
doing 2 sessions of KG for 1 1/2 hours (at first they would only allow 20
mnts, she convinced them for a little more time).  Baby started doing
recreational feedings 2 days ago, but will not be allowed to leave until the
baby has bottle fed (3-4 weeks to go).  Baby has been sucking on a nipple and
is been fed by gavage every 3 hours.

At the moment I am reading what I can on premies so that I can help this mom
when baby comes home, so any advice that you can give me would  be greatly
appreciated.

See ya,
