Just a thought that came to mind after i posted.  I had a mom today in the 
hospital who despite baby losing 10% and peds advise to supplement "a little", 
mom was against this.  I was her 2nd baby and was absolutely sure this was 
normal and baby was getting plenty, felt her milk was in and this happened to 
baby number 2.  Just for "fun" I suggested a pre and post weigh as she is 
going to be discharged in the morning.  been 4 days mom had a c-section.  
just like first.  Anyway, I weighed baby and told mom to call after the feed.  
When I came back she confessed she and the baby had both fallen asleep 
after about 20min.  okay.  so I proceeded to post weigh.  The baby had 
transferred 4 cc.  Mom was a bit shocked and surprised as she thought the 
baby had fed well.  She went ahead and gave the baby some supplement, and 
is now pumping with our hospital grade pump.  I know it was one weight, one 
time, but wanted to share that even though this baby seemed like it was 
turning the corner ie milk in swallows heard via mom, insisting number 1 did the 
same thing etc..Someone has to watch these babes who are losing a lot of 
weight.  I know the peds would have been very disappointed in the hospital LC 
staff, had we not "caught this".  Mom was open to supplementing after seeing 
the weight transfer.  Ya, mom used a bottle.  Now will be pumping her own 
milk and giving that back to baby..

A near miss,
robin
