Rachel shared some classic references for stomach capacity. Thank you.
Here's another one for you:
Zangen S, Di Lorenzo C, Zangen T, Mertz H, Schwankovsky L, Hyman P. (2001) 
Rapid maturation of gastric relaxation in newborn infants. Pediatric 
Research 50(5):629-632.
Fascinating research that does support the gradual increase in volume that 
breastfed infants naturally receive.... but even more fascinating how they 
ever got mothers to agree to perform this research on their newborns - i 
know I wouldn't have.

BTW Rachel you say 900ml is adult stomach capacity which you equate to 2 
cups. You must have very big cups in the USA. Aussie cups are usually 150 
to 250 ml, with 250ml being the standard cup measure.
