Happy New Year to all- I just finished talking to a mom of a 5 week old who has not reached her birth weight!(off by 3 ounces now) The peds are wonderful and just started to encourage to supplement last week - even then they used EBM!! After 4 days of supplementing feedings with a total of 6 ounces of EBM/24 hours the baby did not even gain an ounce! Now we are supplementing with formula at 16-20 ounces in 24 hours. Needless to say, the mother is most discouraged. Anyway, the peds (and myself) are interested to know if there is anywhere in the Maryland area where we could send milk off to get an analysis done, (in particular, a fat analysis). Would a regular lab be able to deal with this? Thanks for any help. *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
