help with newborn with Trisomy 18

[Guest guest]

Five days ago I gave birth to a baby diagnosed with Trisomy 18, which

is a chromosome disorder, similar to Down's syndrome, in that she has

an extra chromosome.

My baby is having feeding problems, unable to suck at the breast,

so I am pumping my milk and feeding her with a bottle. She is slowly

able to take more breast milk each day, but the pediatrician wants to

supplement my breast milk with a cow based lipid supplement that has

chemicals out the yin-yang. He wants to do this to increase the

caloric content of the baby's feedings so she can gain weight more

readily. Could anyone give me some suggestions on better ways to

increase the fat content of my milk or something more healthy to add

to the breast milk?

Thank you for any help you can give.
