Our lactation specialist is working with a 35 year old, who's been diagnosed
with fibromyalgia for 8 yrs.  She did not have enough milk for her first two
children.  This baby is now 1 month of age, delivered at 38 wks with a birth
weight on 3/1/97 of 10 lbs 3 oz.  He dropped to 9 lbs 2 oz, with his weight
at 3/28/97 being 10 lbs 1.8 oz.  With pre- and post-weights he gets about
2/3 of his needs for growth, so he's being supplemented with 1 oz of ABM by
a supplementing tube device at the breast.

Could this be a fibromyalgia issue or is it just incidental?  Any input
would be appreciated.
