Rather than look at dietary manipulation as first line, I would consider using breast massage before and during feeding (there is research on this that shows fat increase), feeding one breast per feeding or using breast compression during a feed. Maybe I read the first message too fast - is this a slow gaining baby or just mom who is concerned about her milk? A creamatocrit is easily done; similar to a hematocrit which will show fat content if she is concerned.
