Heather, thanks so much for your comments.  I must not have been  
clear, but she is now only getting 5-10 mL per expression.  She is  
using every drop of breastmilk, and even swishing the formula around  
in the bottles that have breastmilk droplets clinging to the sides.

Another PPLC responded to me off-list to share these articles with  
me, and I found them very useful, so I am posting them to the list:

Thanks so much for your feedback, everyone.
