Good thoughts, Diane, I was thinking of the same thing when I was checking the reference for the amount of time it takes for breastmilk vs
formula to digest.  Since, babies tend to take less at breast  this contributes to the frequent feeding.  Could delve into this a little more but have to
get the boys ready for school.

Back in April I attended a conference with Jack Newman and he did indeed make reference to babies being satisfied with larger amounts in their
tummies.  If mom would give a larger amount of her breastmilk in a bottle at night the baby could go a bit longer between feeds.  Not word for
word but the idea was mentioned.  The fullness helped them to sleep longer.
