Being a stay at home mom I lose track of dates...But by three days her milk probably hasn't even come in!! Mine didn't come in until 5 days postpartem. I asked my friend and her boys didn't show signs of pyloric stenosis until 2 1/2 weeks so touch`e to me again!> As always though I must put in two cents for breastfeeding!! the perfect food! I wonder when she got released from the hospital? Was he C-section? My daughter did a lot of spitting up mucus after my c-section which I was told was normal. Maybe it is just new mother anxiety... lets hope so. humbly, Anne N.
