Default 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.
