LuAnn,
I have worked with an anorexic mom who was so totally controlling of baby's  
intake that we wound up having to file a complaint with DHS/CPS.
She would NOT feed the baby more than she had decided the baby "needed"  
because she wanted to be sure that her baby did not look like all those  roly-poly 
babies she saw everywhere.
Mom was emaciated and I was surprised that she was even producing milk she  
was so thin. Mom was pumping and carefully measuring how much milk and how much 
 of the "fat" milk she would allow baby to have by bottle on a very rigid  
schedule.
It was seriously frightening.

Dear  Wise Ones,

Wondering if any of you have worked with moms who have an  eating disorder 
severe enough to impact a baby's weight gain and if so,  what symptoms did 
you see in both mom and/or  baby and how did you  come to suspect and then 
realize that this was the case? My hunch is that  I have such a mom as a 
client and am looking for more insight on how to  tease out that info and to 
work with her to have a thriving breastfed  baby.
