Hi Brenda,
It doesn't sound strange to me at all. I think it's that the mom was timing the
feeds. I think you'll see an adequate weight gain once she allows baby to
determine feeds. 3 oz should be plenty for this baby to gain appropriately.
Several BMs in a feed sounds to me like mom just isn't waiting until baby
completes the BM before changing the diaper.
I do caution against judging the adequacy of the breast milk based on how it
looks. Breast milk can look very different depending on when you look at it
-thick, rich, watery, thin, bluish tinged etc. It's all good.
I'd be curious to see how much this baby took in at breast when mom timed the
feeds. I even question whether the SNS or any other supplementary feeding is
necessary if baby took the 3 oz. I'd say, 'good job' keep up the good work and
let's reweigh in a couple days to be sure. Hope it helps, Sue Manore, IBCLC, RLC
