Dear Ruth;
They are never happy are they? But i always send them something if i have
it. What will you pass on to him? Its really easy for me to give out advice
right now since I'm pretty much flat on my back except the odd jaunt to my
computer. Broke my pelvis skiing. To all you other LCs that need a rest, I
wouldn't recommend my method.

Subject: Too much weight gain ?


> Just got off the phone with a mom I saw last week whose
> baby was struggling with latch problems. Her pediatrician
> said there had been too much initial weight loss and she had to
> supplement after each feeding.  Birth weight was 8lbs 10ozs.
> Last week wt was 8lbs 3ozs.  After we fixed the latch babe nursed
> very well and mom felt no more need to supplement.
> Todays wt was 9lbs 2ozs (2 wks) and the pediatrician told her that was too
> much to gain in one week and that she was to put the baby on a four
> hour schedule and give the baby a pacifier so he wouldn't  'overfeed' !!
>
> Question is, if I sent him information would he read it ?
