Rapid maturation of gastric relaxation in newborn infants. Pediatric

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.
Denise offered this reference but I want everyone to note the word I
highlighted and then remove it from the sentence. Yes, breastfeeding is the norm so
all literature should be looking at what the normal infant's capacity.
Those poor babies who are receiving formula are getting amounts anywhere from
15cc to 60cc in the first day. There really needs documentation and education
to both healthcare workers and parents on the normal expectations of babies.
