Doris My best suggestion if a mother seems very concerned is to see the infants/mom in person, assess the supply, the weights, the latches etc. I would consider this triad a fairly high risk triad due to (I'm guessing) preterm birth, low birthweights. Perhaps the milk supply has downregulated due to less than optimal feeding or infrequent feeding. Mothers usually know when the baby is not thriving, so I suggest see them quick.
