A young woman comes to your office for a lactation consultation complaining that her 1-month-old baby has colic and slow weight gain. Her baby requires 6 to 7 diaper changes each day and suffers from diarrhea. She tells you that she allows the baby to nurse equally on each breast so that the baby does not feel satiated; she is desperate for help and asks your advice on what to do.

Breakfast: cereal, milk, banana, and walnut pieces; sometimes she has eggs
Lunch: peanut butter sandwich, salad, and grapes with a glass of milk
Dinner: fish or chicken, vegetables, potato or rice, applesauce, and milk
Snacks: change daily but she likes trail mix because it is easy to eat when nursing
