Evelyn,
The baby could be test weighed for each feed, altho if he is hooked to alot
of wires and IVs, this could be difficult. The mother could express her milk
and then use a supply line (#5 French tube or SNS type) to give the milk.
Then the docs could see exactly what he is getting. They are very worried
about fluid balance, I would guess. Good luck. Keep brainstorming.
