Hi Morgan - Thanks for writing on this.  Yes, I like the idea of using food
(grape, cherry tomato for day 1 and day 3) but I am still wondering about
the size of the stomach on day 10.  If most newborns weigh less than 8 lbs
by day 10 and need <2 ozs, 10x or more per day, the size of the stomach is
probably much smaller than a small tomato.  I'm thinking of the size of the
newborn's fist on day 10.  What do you think?  What else could be the size
of the day 10 stomach/fist?

Warm regards,

Lee
