Hey guys
I was wondering had heard of the following and if you think theres any merit to it...
I saw my DSN yesterday and we had a discussion on why my daughter (almost 5 weeks old now!!!) is still not putting on much weight, still 5% below her birth weight and 1 of the thoughts we discussed was that as I'm spending most of my time hypo (from pump and CGM data it works out about 70%+ of the time) if the milk I'm producing has less calories in it as my sugars are low all the time.
Do any of you think this could be plausable? Its bad enough I have to bottle feed expressed milk to be able to calculate how much she's getting and I really dont want to swap to formula but I will do whatevers best for my daughter and was wondering if any other parents had experience of this or if anyone (parent or not) had any opinions on the idea my dsn said
