I'm just now reading this and what a story! Mom and baby are beautiful. I wouldn't use any off the shelf flea product without consulting a vet first. It may cause more harm than the fleas. Have you anyway of purchasing diatomaceous earth? http://www.dirtworks.net/Diatomaceous-Earth.html

It has to be the pet friendly kind NOT the kind they use in swimming pool pumps etc. It's works wonderful for ants, fleas etc. It's natural and pet friendly.

Good luck with the baby and mom!!!
