>Heather reports that she is concerned and knows that this is NOT normal. Royce: no....it wasn't me with the original case, by the way, and I did not say it was 'NOT normal'. What I felt was certainly not normal wasn't so much the baby (though the lack of stools was worth being concerned and watchful about) but the mother's behaviour - 60 oz of stored EBM *on day 5* (a lot of expressing, not a lot of feeding) and the mother being 'too miserable to nurse' (despite the baby being alert and happy). That was what was worrying me, and what I was linking to potential problems with the baby. Happy, effectively feeding *mothers* don't collect that much EBM in 5 days, and they are not 'too miserable to nurse'.
