We've been helping a mom on the WIC program who weaned at 1 1/2 months
because her caregiver thought it would help with his reflux.  Now at 4 mos.
mom is very frustrated because baby cannot tolerate a multitude of formulas
and baby has not gained well at all.  She decided to try to relactate.  She
got rid of her bottles and is solely using the SNS with a new formula.  The
first day he wasn't happy and went to breast 5 times and took 25 oz (he
weighs 15 lbs).  A few days later he was happier and taking 32 oz.  Does
this sound normal?  She started taking Reglan and fenugreek.  Now after 6
days baby's stools look like breastmilk stools.  Is this to be expected?

 We have not worked with a mom relactating like this and need the benefit of
your collective wisdom.  One last wrinkle---1 week into this whole program
mom finds out she is 5 weeks pregnant.   So doc stopped the Reglan.  She was
beginning to notice some breastmilk.  What is your thinking??  Can this
nursing relationship be saved?

PS I am sending this again because I didn't see it in any of the digests
since April 13.
