I am going to skip the goats milk discussion, since that seems to have already been adequately "milked" (sorry, couldn't resist), and ask about the other problem I picked up in this thread- the baby's behavior. A mom who is really stressed out and says her baby can go five or more hours without signs of hunger or distress is of concern. Have you spent time with the baby? Can you pick up any signs of stress or hunger? Perhaps the mom's stress level is hindering her from picking up her baby's cues. Or, if the baby is truely not sending any hunger or distress cues, the baby is picking up mom stress and is withdrawing also. Is the baby developing any social skills like visual tracking, smiling, facial responsiveness, etc? If not, suggest that mom and baby take a parenting class or mommy and me class and keep an eye on them for possible future attachment problems. Many autistic and delayed children have histories of being "good" and "never crying." Debbie Rabin, OTR, CLC
