I am an LLL Leader acting as a resource for another leader who is dealing
directly with the mom.  I am requesting more details, but in the meantime,
this is what I know:

The baby has a history of being gassy with diarrhea.  He recently came down
with a cold, then a fever.  When the temperature read 94 degrees, the
hospital ran some tests.  the platelets are 800 higher than normal.  I don't
have a medical background so that doesn't mean very much to me.

Would a baby suddenly come down with an allergy to breastmilk (if there even
is such a thing) at 5 months old?

This mom wants to breastfeed.  So does the baby.  Any information would be
appreciated.

Thanks for the link, Lara, I'll start there.
