I am thinking that since the baby presented with a serious illness at 2 wks of age, that he was actually sick prior to that. I am thinking maybe mother is comparing his behavior now (wellness) to his behavior then (sickness). And that his fast feeds now and sleepiness after are normal. I would recommend weighing the baby (not pre/post), just maybe a week after hospital discharge and maybe again in 2 wks if that one is ok, but mom is still worried. She can watch the wet, dirty diapers, and how her breasts soften with feeds. Mom surely was traumatized by baby's illness and the scary medical procedures, and needs reassurance and support. A League group would be great for her. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN Mississippi, s.e.
