Okay, so for the first couple weeks, he gained an ounce a day. Now from week 2 to week 3 he has gained exactly nothing. 8 soaked diapers daily, three big poops with several more skid marks, but no weight gain. Mom feeds constantly, does breast compression (says it's the only thing that keeps him swallowing). She thinks she is not letting down and he can't get milk unless she compresses. An LC nurse evaluated his suck and says it is quite strong. Mom confirms that he isn't tiring out and falling asleep, but that his looooong nursing sessions seem to be using up more calories than he gets. She feels that she is making 16oz per day, though she can't get anything pumping. I am suggested domperidone and metformin and a lactaid for supplementing. She is already doing everything I can find in the BAB or on the web as far as good management. Fenugreek didn't help much with the last child. Please help!
