Charlotte, A couple of thoughts: were the babies preterm? How much formula supps were being used? and Were the babies weighed nude each time? Perhaps the supplementation should be weaned down more gradually or perhaps the baby who lost wt will regain it once he can ad lib breastfeed. Mom could rent an accurate scale and she could tell what baby was taking each feed and she could weight them daily. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
