Have milk, but it won't drain - FOUND SOLUTION!! - NOT
Good luck to both you and you baby. I wish you both the best (and DH,
too) Larry Thank you so much, Larry. We're doing very well I think - at her first week pediatrician visit Lola was back at her birth weight of 8 pounds and has been asking to be fed A LOT since. We think she's already gained another pound in her second week, although our scale at home is not that precise, so we can't be sure (my husband weighed himself, then himself holding the baby, and the difference was what we think her weight is now). She's certainly gained an inch in length since birth, so we're quite pleased with her progress. We feel lucky she is so healthy. |

In a ewe, cow, or doe, the mammary gland is drained by a teat containing a streak canal - a narrow, duct-like structure, with smooth muscle at the proximal end of it which can clamp down to prevent ascending infection - which terminates at the nipple where it opens to the outside world. Humans have small sinuses below the areola which collect milk from several ducts. These sinuses open directly at the nipple. -- Hillary Israeli, VMD Lafayette Hill/PA/USA/Earth "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
