<< The big issue with a mom who is currently anorexic is how she will
perceive her baby's appearance and growth. Some of these moms have limited
feeds because the baby was "getting
too fat," a projection of mother's own fears. If such a mother wanted to
breastfeed, I think that it would be prudent for baby's HCP to be notified,
and weekly [mandatory] weight checks scheduled.>>
Just a thought - in a situation like this, where the mother was the main
care-giver, there would be a problem, whether the baby was breastfed or
formula-fed - the mother would still have the ability to limit feeds, if she
perceived the child to be "too fat".
