I've just noticed my posts from yesterday never went through, here they are again:

I'm trying to catch up on Lactnet.
In reference to the baby with heart disease, why is calorie count important?
I'm presently taking care of a baby with a single ventricle.
If he doesn't grow than I figure its not enough calories so we increase them, in this case NG feeds. When he gains weight then he had enough calories.
