Arly-I had an experience with a set of parents of a slow-to-gain baby. At 2 1/2 weeks, the baby was still not gaining at a fair rate. Mom was not feeding often enough. The MD recommended some PC formula supplementing, and sent her to me. I saw her twice, and neither of the parents appeared willing to do what either the MD or I said. I spoke with the MD (he's a supporter), and we both tried to explain the rationale to these parents, but they just didn't take it in. I worked hard with her, and ultimately the baby still didn't gain well, and she blamed it on breastmilk, and formula fed! The MD and I just threw in the towel on this one. Can't win them all. The parents WERE non-compliant. : / Denise Mollenkopf, RNC, IBCLC [log in to unmask]
