well the nurses won. i just talked to my client and she said they told her that because the baby hadn't peed since yesterday morning (last night) that they were going to have to put an IV in her head and keep her for a week if she didn't give her the formula. they told her she had to give 15 ml after every feeding. this is of course AGAINST what the pediatrician said. Her bili is only 8.6 on the scanner, so its gone down from what they scanned yesterday and they're still bullying her! She latching and sucking and mom can hear audible swallowing. The head over the women's department came in and told mom that syringe feeding was dangerous because she might squirt it into the back of the baby's throat and choke the baby. so instead she should POUR it in her mouth from the cup. i feel sick. i could just scream. i already feel like crying. anne *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html Mail all commands to [log in to unmask] To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or [log in to unmask]) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet or ([log in to unmask]) To reach list owners: [log in to unmask]
