Jennifer, You can show this mom how to manually express, in case this little guy can't move enough milk by himself until his mouth grows more. She can fingerfeed, cup feed, or bottle feed him the milk if he needs a little extra. I've seen several moms with quarter (US coin) diameter nipples , and most babies grew into them by 6 weeks. -- Catherine Watson Genna, IBCLC New York City mailto:[log in to unmask] *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [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(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
