Judy asked about the need to routinely supplement babies with bw >4000g: >Opinions, please? Should I be aware of some research? Reference, please? Judy, those are exactly the questions I would be posing to he "experts" who advised supplementing. What are their explanations? Like you, I would like to read their references. When you find out, post them. We can all have a good laugh (or cry). I've missed you here on Lactnet, Judy, Margery Wilson, IBCLC Cambridge, MA [log in to unmask]
