I have a mom who is a vegetarian who drinks milk, eats cheese and yogurt.
Her baby was 7-6 at birth and 6-11 at discharge on day 2.  Two days
following discharge baby was weighed at 6-11.  On assessment baby had no
signs of dehydration.  Mom states baby has plenty of wet diapers, but no
stools.  She cannot hear baby swallow. Baby's weight dropped 2 ounces 3 days
later.
Baby still having plenty of wet diapers.  Mom's breasts were firm.
With previous child used SNS for slow weight gain.
Has started SNS with this baby. Do you feel that the weight loss is related
to her vegetarian diet?  She is a thin woman of 40.  What about supplemental
fats i.e. omega fats?  Any thoughts if this would increase the calories in
the milk?  She is pumping.  I suggested giving the baby more hindmilk.
