PTP Baby was born at 35 weeks due to slow growth (head measured 5 cm smaller than for gestational age.) BW 4# 9 oz. At 19 days weighed 4# 12.8 oz. She is -4% on the premie growth chart. Mom states this is the best eater she has had thus far. She BF vigorously for up to 20 min. If left at breast too long, will spit up. Using a nipple shield. All feedings on left breast - Mom has large breasts and hasn't had success bf on other breast. (We plan to address that.) She pumps right breast 3-4x's a day and gets approximately 15 oz each time. Baby stools 8-9x's a day. Yellow to orange, seedy. Some stools are very large. Due to health issues and current situation, changing mom's diet is not likely. She is planning to let a bottle of her milk sit and separate in the fridge so we can see approximate fat content. She would be willing to skim off fat and fortify bottles of her breast milk. Weight check again next week. I anticipate mother being instructed to fortify breast milk. Any suggestions are welcomed!
