Apropos the thread about larger babies and smaller babies ( supposedly)
unable to survive on colostrum alone:
Moms here are also told this. I once read a study which showed that
babies born under 2.5 k and over 4 k have a greater tendency to obesity
later in life. What do these two groups have in common? They are
supplemented, and probably unnecessarily. I cannot locate the study at this
moment. Anyone remember it?
