<<The doctor and I have been encouraging her to add a little water to her
bottles to stretch the breast milk. The baby's weight is OK, but mom understands
that there is a fine line to stretching the breastmilk!>>
Am I reading this correctly? This doesn't seem like a good management
technique when you are trying to get more calories/food into a baby and one that I
would hesitate to recommend. I agree with Cathy G; pumping after feedings will
help increase a milk supply and the milk you get may look scanty but has more
calories than the first milk in a pumping or feeding.
