Thanks Patricia, I feel that way too.. plus, I forgot to mention, often times
when she comes off the breast, she has a full milky face and mouth, her lips
are not dry.  I do think she presented at a false birth weight with all the
IV fluids.  Now she is being test weighed which is what I wanted to avoid
because I feel it gets us stuck in the numbers "box".  Plus from previous
posts, I don't trust them always. This baby is clearly outside of said box
weight wise but inside that box on all other fronts.  Plus, this family is
soooooo committed and formula is very tough for them to use.  They are one in
a million.. not a complaint for a month, pretty rare in this area.   ARGHHHHH
Keep the info coming!
Thanks, Annie
