I had a close friend whose baby was born with a serious heart problem and 
required heart surgery at seven months to close up the holes in his heart. 
She kept him in a sling all the time so that he was always close and could 
nurse very frequently - and he did. We figure this meant he was getting 
higher-fat milk. It was also less stressful for him as he almost never 
cried - at the first squirm and fuss, she'd help him latch on to the breast. 
His weight gain was excellent and he didn't start on solids until after his 
recovery from surgery.
