Just as I sat down to fold laundry, I flipped on the daytime soaps and there is new mother Sheila in the NICU to breastfeed her premie for the first time. Sheila got some good and appropriate encouragement form the NICU nurse, and mom and baby had a successful first feeding. Sheila agreed to and is supposed to be giving this baby up for adoption to the baby's bio father, (whom she is in love with and had an affair with, without his knowledge I think), and his wife ( or maybe she still the fiancee, can't keep up very often with the storylines). So it will be interesting to see how this potentially complicated legal dilemma is handled. Will Sheila delay the adoption so that she can continue breastfeeding? Will she bring in some lactation experts to bolster her case? Will continuing the breastfeeding relationship facilitate Sheila's ultimate goal of winning over the bio father? Will becoming a mother and breastfeeding bring out a good and nurturing nature to the previously devious and dangerous Sheila? Will Sheila develop sore nipples? Guess I'll have to tune in tomorrow and on a regular basis for a while to follow this story, just for umm, professional reasons of course. Will the IBLCE give me cerps for this? Deb Springfield VA
