I agree there are so many different opinions when it comes to the things the surgeons say and do, but when Vada was readmitted to the special care nursery at 7 days because of dehydration, i spoke with a nurse whose child had cancer and was at the Childrens hospital in Seattle, WA regularly for many years...she said, "no matter what, listen to your instincts, the doctors are only there to guide you in what they have seen work in the past, they do not know for sure whether it will work for your child and you as the mother know what is best for your baby. Your baby relies on you to make the decision that will work best for them and for who they are and the kind of baby and temperment that they have. In the end all you can do is put all the advice that you are given and agree with together and make your own treatment plan, and all will work out for you."
