Making nursery rounds today I went in to talk to the mom of a 48 hour old baby who was 90% of birth weight. Staff has trying to help mom latch baby who was fussy and not attempting to latch well. I was wondering if finger feeding or even just sucking on a finger would help. Mom soon announced she doesn't want to BF, story is it wasn't her desire to begin with but there is a lot more to that. Still I'm wondering what would have helped the acute situation? -Rob Rob Cordes, DO, FAAP, FACOP Wilkes Barre PA mailto:[log in to unmask]
