I would question wether or not the weight loss of only 34g more than 10%,
in another wise well mum and baby, with no further weight loss, was
significant. I don't think this baby is incicating that he needs more.
That perhaps we are interfering in normal physiology, and also making the
mother question her ability to provide all her babies nutritional
requirements. Margaret Wendt.
