Yay, Jan! Part of the reason I wrote that I look forward to others' thoughts was because I didn't feel like checking true references either. :) The information of 1:16 comparison is from Smith's Coach's Notebook, p. 32. There are no references listed. Since posting, I have been looking for actual figures, and mine match yours perfectly. So unless someone can find the 1:16 comparison (because I can't either), it must be a myth. It would be interesting to see how other nutrients in colostrum compare to formula so we have a firm reasoning of how much is appropriate if it's not human milk. Clearly the 2 oz ready to feed bottles are not appropriate. Good conversation.
