Hi Marla
There is not a lot of research on this - and the methodologies used to
acquire that which we do have is dodgy (is there any reason to think that a
cadaver's stomach capacity will be the same as that of a living infant? Is
using a balloon to fill an infant's stomach until it cause him or her to
show signs of pain going to give a valid measure of stomach capacity?).
Furthermore, we know from studies of older infants (1-6mos) that the volume
and frequency of feeds amongst healthy exclusively breastfed infants varies
widely between dyads, between feeds and across any given day.
Kent, J. C., Mitoulas, L. R., Cregan, M. D., Ramsay, D. T., Doherty, D. A. &
Hartmann, P. E. (2006) Volume and Frequency of Breastfeedings and Fat
Content of Breast Milk Throughout the Day. Pediatrics, 117, e387-395.
It is always worth giving your hospital librarian a call.

Subject: quantity of intake
I am trying to find out how many ccs a healthy, term newborn needs per
feeding and per 24 hour period for both the bottle feeder and the
breastfeeder.
Also, for any of you who are hospital based how do handle mothers/babies
that are doing "both". Of course we try educating the families. To say the
least it is frustrating to try to latch a baby who has been given 30-60 cc
for numerous feedings.
Thank you very much.
Marla
