Can't remember if I've sent this message to both Lactnet and Kathy so I'll
post it again just in case (Had my 30st birthday yesterday, is that a valid
reason?)

Hi Kathy,

Not too long ago I've kind of worked with a dyad of which the baby was
diagnosed with O.I..
I didn't really worked with them as a L.C., (provided them with a pump).
Like you, I've immediately posted this to the list and asked for help.
There is info in the archives, check for info about Osteogenesis Imperfecta
around february 1999.

On the internet there is a site with literally tons of info on it (Thanks
again Katherine Dettwyler). This is the URL:
Http://www.oif.org/

By the way, 'my' mother is breastfeeding her daughter as we speak (5 months
now).
She fed her "bend over her", if you know what I mean. To the best of my
knowledge she is now holding her for feeds.

Hope this helps a little,

Warm regards,
