Thanks for your comments Heather. I agree about the milk sampling, however could not take the baby off the breast to do this. I wish it were a matter of not feeding often enough. And perhaps that is what preciptated all of this, although mom denies. This baby looks pale, and clearly FTT though - at least 3 pounds under expected weight. Agree, he may be small (most likely looking at a sibling), but I really am thinking there are other things also going on with this baby.
