A question was posed to me today from another HCP about the following infant.
Male
Born weighing 7lb 7 oz 20 in
2 mos 11 lb 13 oz 22.5 in
4 mos 15 lb 8 oz 25 in
8 mos 16 lb 2 oz 27.5 in
Fourth child for this mother - she had exclusively breastfed other 3 till 1 year.
The weight gain drops on even the breastfed charts.
The question is - should assistance in breastfeeding be offered or should we
leave this mother and baby alone.
Thank you
Rose Straeter, IBCLC
Breastfeeding Peer Counselor
