Hi Michele ,
 
If they are concerned about intake why not use an SNS at breast with the  
allotted amount of formula along with breastfeeding and then rent a baby 
scale  and do some pre and post weights.  
When the sns works moms and babies love it!
Good luck with this challenging case.
Jane

What advice would you give a mom (and grandmom) whose hearts  are
breaking with the news that the otherwise healthy infant had a  positive
PKU test?   
They are being told everything must be  measured so the baby cannot go
to the breast.  Or they can feed the  newborn 2 oz of Pku formula, then
put the baby to breast--when obviously the  baby would not take the
breast or might take it then vomit from the overload  of milk...
