With mom's who di not breastfeed the first few days I am concerned that they will not get things going by themselves well at home. In a culture where everyone breastfeeds, then starting 2 days late probably doesn't matter (although it would be interesting to know what is done in there country before the advent of formula. However, in our country and its ubiquitous bottles, I am more worried. What is peoples experience? The mothers I work with don't conplain about the color of the colostrunm. They ust routinely tell me they don't have milk -- **************************************************** * Deena Zimmerman MD MPH * * Department of Pediatrics * * UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School * * 1 RWJ Place * * New Brunswick, NJ 08903 * * * * phone (908) 235-7248 * * fax (908) 235-7345 * * email [log in to unmask] (internet) * ****************************************************
