You would be surprised what a "dedicated" nurse-to-sleep baby will be able
to do without mama present.  My guy, who will stay latched on all night
unless I pop him off every couple of hours, naps just fine for his daycare
provider with just a little back rubbing.  For the life of me, I cannot
duplicate this at home.  I would tell her to just wait and see and then
address any problem.

> Hello, All:
> Please offer your kind suggestions for the following situation:
> Mom is a school teacher, returning to work (5 days a week, four hours a

eats
> solids welland happily.  Mom has a decent quality pump that worked well

vacation).
> She would like to leave a bottle of EBM for baby to drink before her

results

bottle

>   My suggestions to her were : 1.Work a bit more at pumping, see if your

baby

til

fenugreek,
