The data don't totally make sense to me because of the early weights. The wt loss was 7% and the wt gain was 10 oz in 3 days! Was there any jaundice in the first week? I would suspect insufficient glandular tissue and that the weights were inaccurate, particularly the 10 oz gain. I bet the baby was not nude and not sure what type of scale was used. (I have seen babies with high wt loss turn around and gain 4-5 oz overnight once supplementation has begun. But I cannot imagine such a large gain if the mother's milk did not really "come in.") If something is different about the night nursings, perhaps the latch is different at night using another position? This could be investigated as well. I would recommend a hospital grade pump instead of a working mom's pump, perhaps a different supplementer device like Lact-Aid or a simple feeding tube threaded through a bottle nipple, herbal and/or prescription galactagogues. Of course, close f/u for baby and mom. I am not well-versed in vegan diets but it seems mother grew the baby quite well in pregnancy. But a dietician or nutritionist could help mother assess her diet if needed. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN Mississippi, s.e.
