Single mommy here too.. my (now toddler) child has always had difficulty gaining weight... so the advice has always been to fortify breastmilk, formula, and then meals (with added fat whenever possible) while at the same time, participating on the meals. Which... it means either I have the time to make a meal that looks the same for both of us, but one is not super fatty, or both eating the same. Working full time, little support... I've always leaned towards doing what's best for her. No regrets... but I haven't been able to lose the baby weight 2.5 years in. I really need to focus on that now though...
