Oh Anne, that was priceless!  Had to wipe off the iced tea that I spewed all

For formula trivia:  "Breastfed & artificially fed infants take in different
quantities of milk and have different growth patterns.  By 8 months breastfed
infants have consumed 30,000 kcal less than artificially fed infants."
