I am puzzled by a recommendation given by another IBCLC to a mother with an exclusively breastfed  7 week old baby that is gaining weight well. She told me that she instructed the mother to feed her baby formula 1 time per day, because the mother is on a fat-free diet due to reflux. She said that the mother will not have enough fat in her milk because she is on this fat-free diet. This doesn't make  sense to me, from my understanding of how lactation works. I would really appreciate feedback on this recommendation!
