Permission to share -- Saw a mom today with very low milk supply, 35 weeker  
twins, now 9 days old receiving donor milk primarily by bottle feeds.  They  
are both just under five pounds.  Boy is back to birthweight, girl is 6  ounces 
below birthweight. Mother has Chron's Disease and wants info from me as  to 
how breastfeeding will or will not affect this disease.  I can find  plenty on 
the preventative benefits to her children, but nothing for her.   Any ideas? 
She is also taking Pentasa for the Chron's, Butalbital for Migraines,  Percoset 
for C-section pain. She hemorrhaged post c-section and is anemic.   All in 
all, it's a bad combination and I believe I have my work cut out for me  here.  
Her breasts are large and floppy and she has a fairly low tolerance  for 
intervention, but wants to breastfeed (?).  They both seem to be able  to suck at 
breast for limited amounts of time, so I am trying SNS with donor  milk as well 
as having mom pump with Symphony.  Thanks for any ideas, Ann  Conlon-Smith, 
IBCLC
