Hi, "other Judy"! I was feeling lonesome, having gone through
school with at least one other Judy in the class..... Most of
your questions should be answered by the RNs and LCs who work in
hospitals - we have discussed this issue from several different
standpoints on the net already, since it really is SCARY when
these little bitsies won't eat. HOWEVER, as a plea from one who
works "out there" (mom and junior/junielle are out of the
hospital and on their own), try to think gently and as non-
interventionalistically (wow!) as possible. Very bluntly
speaking, I cringed when I read your question about "sequential
blood sugars". Seems to me that a baby, after going through the
trauma of birth, would shut down pretty solid if he was stuck
every hour or so. We've already discussed what can happen when
you push/force the baby's face into the breast. It takes a
loooong time to unlearn aversions, if ever.
Oh. Almost forgot. Thank you all who explained the doll's eyes
technique. Very clever. Sounds better than Brazelton's and can't
wait to try it. Judy Knopf
