Here, here!
I am seeing a mom tommorrow that has twins.  She has been supplementing
since their birth 8wks ago because they were "dehydrated" on day 3.  Mind
you when I asked if they had been peeing and pooping she said yes to both
("lots of poops").  And did they use an SNS to supplement OF COURSE NOT
they used bottles, not even a finger feeder.  Anyway that's neither here
nor there just an example of more mismanagement at well known Boston
hospitals.  Then upon discharge she saw an LC who suggested Fenugreek
which she tried and when she didn't see enough of a boost the LC
prescribed Reglan.  And she had been using a pump (not sure why, I guess
also to increase supply but she has willing and able babies to do that!)
GEEZ, I think all this mom needs is to keep the babies at the breast.
Now of course since they're used to an extra 3oz after breastfeeding
she'll have to use an SNS till she is confident she is making enough for
them.
Am I off base here?
