Dear Friends:
    Thanks for all the great discussion and posts on this topic.
    The pediatrician called the mother after we spoke; told the mother to
stop breastfeeding and give formula until the next weight check. Baby gained
2+ ounces in 24 hours!
    Mother has been avoiding conversation with me: is "too tired" or
"busy"...I have spoken with the husband. And will follow up. Her breasts were
totally fine when she stopped nursing for the night: no engorgement,
fullness, or anything.
    WArmly,
Nikki Lee RN, MSN, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CIMI
