Ooops, a kind Lactnetter has just let me know that I made a very 
silly error when computing the milk supplements needed by a FTT baby 
at 4 months of age.  I'm so sorry, I looked up the weight on the WHO 
chart for 4 weeks, and should have looked at 4 months.  So, looking 
at the charts for boys 0-6 months (see the Child Growth Standards on 
the WHO website at 
http://www.who.int/childgrowth/standards/en/>http://www.who.int/childgrowth/standards/en/ 
a baby of 4 _months would weigh in at about 7 kg if he was following 
the 50th percentile curve, and if he had been receiving very 
inadequate intake, you'd probably compute that he would need 225ml x 
7 divided by 8 or about 200ml every 3 hours.

As it happens, thankfully Laura's low-gain baby seems to be doing 
well on what he's receiving.

But my apologies to all for making this quick-and-easy mistake in the 
numbers :-(
