Good grief!

When does it ever stop! A mother whose baby had gained 2 pounds the first 2 
weeks after birth with nothing but breast milk,  was told by her HCP that 
because her baby was nursing up to 50 minutes at a stretch that he was 
"using her" and that she needed to mix up formula and water and given an 
ounce after each feeding.

No matter that the baby was fine, that she really was not interested in 
using formula and  there was absolutley no indication whatsoever to make 
this recommendation.

Sigh.............ready for retirement in paradise (with Jan) , where we let 
babies decide about how and when  they like to eat and health care 
practionners know enough to leave things alone.
