Dear Colleagues:
The mother I worked with (and posted about a few days ago) is
artificially feeding her baby, who was sent home at 34-35 weeks gestational age. This
baby was double wrapped with a hat, and was COLD. This baby was too immature
to sustain her temperature; they could have put ten blankets on her and it
wouldn't have helped.
The baby was so cold that she wasn't asking to eat very often; one of
the first things the mother noticed after STS was that the baby was ravenous;
she gained 14 ounces in 5 days! (4 pounds 7 oz to 5 pounds 5 oz)......on my
same, calibrated Baby-Weigh Scale. What a display of catch up growth!
warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE
