How reliable were the previous scales - 1.5 oz weight gain in week 2-3 is v. surprising in a baby where all the other signs of effective feeding are present, and one might wonder if some mistake has occured (I have come across babies where caregivers have wrongly translated metric into imperial - plain ol' human error. >> My first thought was wrong birth weight too. However, this mom had NO interventions in labor -- no epidural, no extra IVs or Pit or anything. (Smart mom). I saw babe in hospital -- she LOOKED to be a 9-1 baby. First check at peds office at 10 days was 8-6. Hmmm.... Back a week later, and up to 8-7.5. In to see me that same day -- on my scale 8-5.7. (After a LARGE void). So even on different scales, we are still batting around the same amount. Even if the birth weight was off, the weight from one week to another is accurate.... Anyone know how to increase fat CONTENT in milk? Increasing fat intake in mom's diet changes the fatty acid composition of the milk, but doesn't increase fat necessarily unless she's already in starvation mode, and although this mom is thin, she's not excessively so, and she eats far more than I do.
