This is regarding the baby that has gone from birthweight of  8-4 to 7-1 in 
10 days and physician is concerned about celiac....
 
AND wants mom to pump and dump???
 
First of all, I agree with Heather that she should continue to  breastfeed. 
 If she feels obligated to "obey" the orders, then pump and  keep the milk. 
 But before that, I would want to see all the weights from  birth to 
discharge to see if there is a screwup somewhere in the weights.   Secondly I 
think at least one or more ac/pc weights should be done to see how  much on 
average the baby is taking.  Thirdly, I'd like to know why and on  what basis 
the physician is considering celiac just on the basis (as far as we  can see) 
of unexplained weight loss.  Can't go by just pees and  poops....
 
Good luck and keep us appraised of what is going  on.
