Hi all, I need advice. I've been working since April w/ a mom w/a 27 wk preemie BWT 1 lb 15 oz. Mom has been pumping and has great supply. Baby had surgery for NEC @ 3 wks of age and has colostomy. This week ,baby is over 3 lbs. Week of June 5- weaned off continous tube feedings w/ EBM & HMF. Went to Progestimil & EBM/HMF by bottle. Week of June 12- Mom has been bfd.2 x's a day. Baby having problems w/ bradycardia but latches and nurses 4 - 7 min on at least one breast per day, then mom & staff use EBM w/ HMF for all other feedings, baby takes this very slowly. This morning we used SNS and baby did better @ br. & took 1.5 oz in SNS. Mom tells me this afternoon Nurses were concerned that BM went "right through her without being digested" Dr. rx'd to restart on progestimil only and wait to see what happens. Any suggestions on this would be helpful. I've read the section on preemies and most of this is common, but would like any help about the shortened bowel and stoma. - Then I need referrals for an LC , Pro - Breastfeeding neonatalogist and NICU in Washington,DC. This wonderful families Dad is in the Air Force and is being transferred to the Pentagon in 6 weeks. Talk about major stress !! 3 yr old, Baby in NICU, selling house and Dad moving . Thanks in advance for all your insights.
