how was Elliot's gain prior to solids?


what are the solids she's feeding?

i'd be very very interested in how often she was feeding him before.  i
frequently find that moms thought they were feeding enough when in fact
they were feeding q3h from the END of the last feeding (OMG!!!).  no
wonder the milk supply was in the tanker.

yes.  the mom was an attachment parent, nursed her baby frequently and
constantly even through the night.  baby was constantly fussy andgaining
poorly from birth.  many interventions with great LC's (latch,
postiioning etc)  didn't help.  mom was dx'ed with insufficient
glandular tissue and began nursing the baby with a Lact-Aid....from four
mos to six mos, then  added solids at six mos so she could reduce the
amount of formula.  however, baby did get some formula till 12 mos.

after starting the Lact-Aid, baby gained and grew beautifully and was
very very happy.
