hello all. i am needing some quick answers. i have searched the archives and found nothing. i met today with a mother due to be induced (36 weeks) next wednesday due to c and d antibody incompatability. it is likely that this baby will get a transfusion after birth and also be jaundiced. dr. told me that mom had mid zone 2 amnios. she also stated that it was likely that this baby could not receive breastmilk for as long as 4-6 weeks. is this true or are there options? what questions do i need to ask? dr. is very supportive of mom pumping and storing breastmilk until it can be used. i am not a medical professional and this is something i have never dealt with before. what do i need to know to support this mother with breastfeeding her baby? please respond to list and privately so that i receive reponses as quickly as possible. thanks in advance, katherine wilson-thompson wic peer counselor [log in to unmask] *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
