Dear Anne,
I agree with what you are saying. I am wondering if you feel there might
be wiggle room depending on two factors.
1. How low is the mother's breastmilk supply? What if the baby only
needs a 2-5 extra oz per 24 hours to grow well? Could the family then
add a bit of extra healthy solids (see below) to make up the difference
or are you always in favor of donor milk (Yes!) or some formula instead
of solids?
2. What about the kinds of solids? Cereal and apple sauce are not the
answer but what about avocados? Or some ground up brown rice with some
ground turkey and a little olive or coconut oil?
If you focus on the fats and proteins and only need a little, do you
feel this could work?
I respect your opinion very much so want to make sure I am suggesting
what is best for families.
Thank you!
