Ditto here. Baby had poor latch and was gaining well only with great
ejection reflex. Positioning is improving, but Mom has developped
blanching to the slightest stimulation. We tried warmth and protection
from microtrauma, but I had to prescribe nitroglycerin ointment this
morning, and I am not too sure abut how to use the stuff. I know it is
safe, and the *book* said every 4 to 8 hours... is it still *it* ? Other
suggestions ?
