In the depths of Lawrence I read that there is a chemical in the fatty
component of milk (must go and look this up, I apologise for my
vagueness) that accumulates over the course of the feed, sending off
satiation signals to the brain when the baby is full, so he then comes
off the breast. I have extrapolated from that (and correct me if this is
incorrect) that if EBM is fed from a bottle, and all the milk is mixed
and shaken, the baby does not get this progression of lower fat milk to
higher fat milk. The baby may then have to continue feeding on more milk
than was really required before the brain gets the satiation signals
from the accumulated fatty component of the milk. now I will go and look
this up.
