Fellow zealots, I have two questions for you
What's the current word on hepatitis C positive mothers and breastfeeding? I
checked in Ruth Lawrences newest book and I was surprised to see her advising
against BF with hepatitis C. I have also related the information I received
from the ILCA confernce that says it's OK. Does anyone know of the most
current lit on this subject
Question #2 I have a client who is having a very difficult time with her
active, curious, 8 month old baby who has deceided to have a nursing strike.
This happened right after the baby bit the mom who responded with a reflex
mild bop on the head. We've been working with baby for the last 5 days or so
with much holding, skin to skin, baths, no force to nurse, and quiet relaxed
environment. The mom of course feels awful. Baby is taking EBM from a sippy
cup, she does use a pacifyer, mom does not want to do night sleeping with
baby but is willing to try just about anything. Any brilliant ideas out
there for a nursing strike and also how long can this last?
