> Mother does not wish to supplement and feels her milk supply is adequate
and that this pace of feeding is perhaps excessive.   She would like to cull
hindmilk and add to her own milk as a 'supplement' but hospital is unsure of
this idea. >


Karen's post suggested the mom ask the nursery staff fortheir research on
what they are insisting needs to be done.


Despite the fact that this is not a premature baby, is there a way for
someone to supply the mom with a copy of Paula Meier's research on using
hindmilk to "beef up" the calories per cc. of breastmilk, for which which
Susan described the procedure:

<A baby with birth wt of 9-1oz, now 6 days old and 10 pounds is getting
his caloric needs met and more!      Blow me over with a feather.
I would suggest the use of mother's hindmilk in the hospital.  Easily
obtained by cooling her pumped milk and skimming off the top 1 oz., or
mom can pump into a container for about 8 minutes, change containers,
pump for another 5-8 minutes and voila! she will have the hindmilk. >
