Dear Friends:
    Today I saw this dyad in the hospital.
    He is much better; he is now allowed to go to  breast for a half-hour 
every three hours, and MUST be supplemented after each  feed. 
    Fortunately, his mother has a huge supply, so he  can be supplemented 
with her milk.
    He was having some tachypneic (fast-breathing)  episodes at breast 
yesterday; I didn't see any of that today. He is still on  antibiotics.
    He gets very stressed waiting for 3 hours. The NICU  staff has taped a 
pacifier to a infant shirt, to help hold it in his mouth. I  wonder if anyone 
even thinks about the impact of this practice on parental  learning.
    warmly,
