Okay, here's one I've never heard of before. A baby is 5 mos old and has
consistently not gained weight well over the whole 5 months. It is
excusively breastfed. The LC says the nursing is going well - good latch,
good suck and good swallowing. The recommendation was to get "more fat in
the breastmilk" by *having the mother eat lots more fat in her diet*.
Needless to say, the baby is still not gaining very well but the mother is
really putting on the pounds!
Now, I do have trouble taking this suggestion seriously. However,
I am not an expert as some of you are, so I must ask - Is there merit to
the suggestion? Could this actually work?? Please let me know so I can
pass it on!
