Dear Denise and all, I suspect the mom wanted to give the supplement, maybe had already done so, and the LC may have "met her where she is" as far as her desires with feeding her baby. Most LCs would recommend breastfeeding the baby lots, let the baby have "3" sides, nap while baby naps, lots of skin to skin contact, etc. Susan Potts rn ibclc MInnesota ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
