Does mom have oversupply problems? Working to bring the supply down to the infants needs would help the baby get more fat. Or, pumping out the excess after the baby eats (which is most of the fat) can be her "enrichment." But that will not cure the problem of oversupply. You don't mention how often this mom feeds her infant. If she is not feeding every two hours, or more frequently, and begins to do so, her infant will get proportionately more fat. And that may be all the enrichment she needs. I missed a year plus of lactnet, so I don't know if my information is the most current thinking (and I'm sure all you out there will correct me if I'm wrong), but last I read, and therefore, what I explain to moms, is that the amount of fat per feeding doesn't change significantly, whether the feeding is every four hours, every three or two hours, or every twenty minutes. What changes -- increases -- is the amount of "lean" milk. Therefore, the more frequently a baby is fed, the more fat it gets, both totally, and in relation to the lean. Explaining it that way seems to work in getting moms to feed (or pump) more often.
