Thanks for that link Niki. 
That was done and baby still went to NICU after the hour of skin to skin and still SGA and booked early because of previous still baby. However even though baby was not stable it was gavage fed over 1 ounce of formula and given the milk mom had expressed at home. Sadly baby had a phnemothorax and transferred out to Toronto and only needed to stay 2 days but mother said they never forced her to have that much formula again and besides her milk came in when baby stabilized in 24 hours. Totally different hospital who let her breastfeed during the process of gavage feeding and than total feeding with smaller amounts. This is why I am looking for research on amounts needed to truly bring up BS. So much formula on an open gut and to a sick baby makes me cringe.
