I haven't asked for the mother's permission so I cannot post many  details.
Here's my question: Will an SNS help a baby with FTT who is not very  
effective at transferring milk from her mom's breast but is gaining weight  
on breast+ EBM in a bottle feeds? 
The baby has always latched on well  and loves to breastfeed but is getting 
lazy after getting bottles for 2  days.
I was planning on putting the EBM in the SNS instead of the bottle but  was 
stongly discouraged by OT/ST/PT specializing in infant  feeding.
Thanks!

Vaishali, I don't see any reason to not try this unless there is something  
the OT knows that we don't. If so it would be good if she shared her rationale  
with you.  You can certainly try the SNS and have visible evidence of  
whether it works or not.  You can even analyze the total intake at a  breastfeeding 
with the SNS by doing a test wt. I'd go for it unless the OT/PT/ST  can give 
you sound reasoning why not.
