Therese mentions,

<< Nikki, I would be quite concerned about this mother, who is telling you one
 thing, her doctor another thing, and possibly doing something else
 altogether in terms of feeding her baby. This is the way mothers who
 ultimately neglect or abuse their children often behave, and I find it
 worrying. I would be sure you let the doctor know that this is happening, so
 that he can monitor this mother and baby. >>

And Nikki, it might be useful to find out if she is attempting to follow a
particular parenting program that advocates parent -controlled feedings....or
parent-*directed* feedings as the case may be.
