....cluster of feedings during the
last 6-10 hours before milk transition, and
also gassiness in babe just as milk is changing.
Anyone else recognize this pattern..or are we just
seeing it because we think we will?
I used to work the night shift in the nursery when we were doing things to moms
and babies that I try to forget ever being involved with. I was a former LLLL
at the time and had discontected with LLL because I couldn't deal with the
divergence. However, during that time I did observe something very similar to
what Phyllis sees. The night prior to the engorgement onset, the kid would be
raging with hunger. I was usually willing to take babies "out" to mom
oftener than the rules, but these kids couldn't even accept this "leniency".
They were hungry, and they wanted to be AT breast. I don't remember any stool
changes, but that wouldn't have been so much a problem to Nursery "routine" and
therefore not so rememberable.
