I'm not sure what Leigh's dr was recommending, but our pediatrician was
recommending a high-calorie prescription formula as a supplement which is
30
calories/oz, as opposed to breastmilk or regular formula which is 20
calories/oz.
So, do you give them six ounces once a day for a total of 60 extra calories?
Or are you supposed to switch this in place of all breastmilk? I can't see
the former making any more difference than giving an extra snack or nursing
session. A complete switch OTOH might make a difference, but its certainly
got its costs which will be financial, emotional and physical.
