Hello colleagues
I had a interesting discussion with a obstetrician a few days ago. when I
mentioned that a baby I am looking after for their practice is averaging
between 300 - 450 grms weight gain per week breastfeeding
The obstetrician said the baby was being overfed?????? How can that be,
the baby is being demand fed and has always been so. This baby is happy,
calm, and contented, and the mother is so proud of herself.
Where can I get evidence to support this breastfeeding dyad.
Regards
June Nicholls
