My heartfelt thanks to all you LACTNET ladies who responded to the post. 
Ths is such a wonderful resource and my knowledge base has really grown, 
especially in the last 24 hours. I sent the Ped a report asking if a Coombs 
test or direct antibody test was performed and requesting clarification of 
the baby's diagnosis,including that "the AAP Section on Breastfeeding, 
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Academy of 
Family Physicians, Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, World Health 
Organization, United Nations Children's Fund, and many other health 
organizations recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of 
life" (credited to the AAP Policy Statement), and further defined exclusive 
breastfeeding for him. I am now donning my armor, but am satisfied that I 
have defended the dyad adequately-first step, anyway. Again, thank you 
Ladies, for your dedication and elucidation. I know that you have made a 
difference in this baby's life and bolstered his mother's confidence in her 
ability to provide for him.
Niki Konchar, IBCLC
proud, today, to be in the space between mother and doctor, hopefully 
bringing them closer to the same goal-a healthy, happy baby
