Rachel,
I'm confused. I don't think this is right:
>(For other metric unit users, two
>and a half is the factor you multiply the baby's weight IN OUNCES by, to
>estimate how many OUNCES of milk the baby needs in a day.
because a baby who weighed 8 pounds would weigh 128 oz. 128 multiplied
times 2.5 yields 320oz or 10 quarts or 9463 ml! That can't be right.
Then again, my brain is fried from studying here at the last minute for my
recertification exam!
