Not sure if anyone has been following this story or no, but they need some help finding a pedi and can always use more donor milk.
Â
EMERGENCY - Need a pediatrician in or around Klamath Falls, OR who is breastfeeding/human milk friendly!!!
Baby Anthony (Â http://milkforbabyanthony.blogspot.com/) was dropped today by his pediatrician when they found out that the parents are feeding him donated human milk.Â
Baby Anthony is a very sick little baby - 6 months old dx'ed as FTT (mom couldn't produce milk and baby can't keep any formula down), severe acid reflux and possible blindness. Mom, Yecenia, has been working tirelessly to find and feed him donated breastmilk, the ONLY food that he can keep down.
...Â
The parents are very scared now that their pediatrician has dropped them. They are new parents facing a lot of challenges, with very little support.
If anyone can recommend a pediatrician in that general area (Even as far as Medford, OR), it would be greatly appreciated! Bonus if they have Spanish-speaking employees (Dad is not very fluent in English, and he is the one to take Anthony to appointments as mom works).
Please spread the word!
