edie- mom needs help *fast*. If I were her, I would take beta-blockers for at least a few days. This is not medical advice, but it's what *I* would do for myself (if I thought of it.) She needs to get her head destressed. Epinephrine is causing her milk to not let down. yikes. then she needs to work on adjusting, but the fact that she can't comprehend that her baby needs to nurse is a big red flag, but her baby needs her more than ever. More normal stress relieving situations are going to be very hard to convince her to try, I think. A massage and a warm bath just isn't going to cut it. All of you have my sincere sympathy. I'm so sorry. ===== Kate Hallberg,http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~kolina/ mom to Ursula (6), Sage (4!) and Benno (12-31-00) I grew up with sex representing the safety I should have had from my family, and failing that, should have been able to expect from the state. I never got a chance at either.- Gaye Dalton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
