Have had similar problems with an anorexic BF mom. BF 1st until I told her it wouldn't help to be BF (he was about 10 mo.) and have a dead mom :-( She was 75 lb at time. BF 2nd baby a little less (8 mo or so). I have issues with her about feeding the kids properly (she doesn't.) Lately have pulled dad into the issue by telling him if mom won't feed little girl then he must see it is done before and after work! She is 2, very small for age, can gain if someone pays attention to it. Very complex and sad situation. Only good thing she has done is be sure there will be no more babies. PS both babies did OK as infants, grew appropriately when breast only. Which shows what the body can and will do with limited resources.
