Ok, all this weight loss talk has me curious.  I'm admitting here I'm not quite the expert  so my naivity may show a bit here, but seriously what will happen if the baby does not gain weight?  I'm going solely off of personal experience as a formula reaction almost killed my son w/i the first 24 hours of supplementation.  So we tossed it  and just dealt w/ the milk transfer issues.  In retrospect I probably should have supplemented post nursings w/ 2 oz of expressed b/m instead of 1 oz. but still, he took 3 weeks to reach his birth weight again and then didn't gain again until he was 2 mos old.  Yes the pediatrician called daily asking his weight and sighing when I said "he's holding steady" but it wasn't worth supplementing w/ formula again.  He figured it all out.  Just took him a while and now at 22 months old and still in love w/ his "ni nites" I just see no untoward effects.  It has made me not spaz w/ moms that I'm helping at all.  Which I think in turn has helped them relax
 and aided in them resolving issues quicker.  So seriously, what will really happen?  Curious minds want to know.
