Well, we're going to do the pump and supplement thing for a while... I discovered that while i *can* pump, nurse and feed with a syringe simultaneously, it's not my preferred method. The whole process is rather time consuming though. :( She only gained an ounce and a half since last Monday. Not happy. Jenrose > Well, we're going to do the pump and supplement thing for a while...

Between you, Leslie and Denise, we've had a run of experienced breastfeeders with weight gain issues. I hope Shiny wakes up soon!

Ok, I know that you can't give the baby a cheeseburger, but is it possible for you to eat something that would make your milk fattier, to help her gain? What if you drank those protein shakes that weight lifters drink? Could you make the breast milk she is getting more potent somehow? More bang for your suck, so to speak?

It should, but it doesn't. Your body makes breastmilk ~22 cal/oz regardless of what you eat or ingest. Something that was suggested with us was to add fatty oils to DD's ebm after she was a few weeks old. Of course, I have a hard time getting DD to take EBM so that doesn't work for us. Between the lot of us, we're gonna figure out how to fatten these babies up :) Denise > <amyeaustin@gmail.com> wrote in message > It doesn't work that way. It should, but it doesn't.

Hang in there-that pumping/supplementing is tiring-talk about never having your hands or breast free. Anyway, I bet that Shiny will perk up soon-I think that chubby postdate babies are a bit sleepier at first. BTW-how the heck does a baby tolerate a head US?

This is Shiny we're talking about... she sleeps through it, of course. Nice warm gel... head massage.... Haha. Still, can you imagine sleeping through an US like that? We've got a mellow bub on our hands, too. He was not at his birthweight at the 2 week appointment, but he must have heard us deciding what to do about it because he then bypassed his birthweight 3 days later. Keep up the good work, I hope for you that each day gets a bit easier than the previous and that you are very soon to breastfeeding without tubes and pumps. Kelly #4 2/15/05 >> ugh.
