By this rationale the discussion over the different scoop sizes for powdered
infant formula is a moot point...just pick an "average" scoop and use that-
no need for accuracy!
I cannot tell you how disturbing I find this discussion. It seems that a
potentially dangerous practice is quite common and accepted by lactation
consultants. Wow!

I will tell you my reason for giving breastmilk an arbitrary calorie count
of 20 cal/ounce. I previously worked with 2 excellent
neonatal dieticians. They recommended that since we would never know the
exact calorie count of breastmilk, it made sense to just
give it an average of 20 cal/ounce since that would be easy to remember.
Even after performing many creamatocrits on many different mother's milk,
this still makes sense to
me. Most women that I tested had higher than 20 cal/oz. Some had about 20
cal/oz and a few had lower than 20 cal/oz.
Sincerely, Rachel Wahl RN IBCLC
My question is how are you coming up with the caloric content of
breastmilk as my understanding is that it is not a set number...
together in health,
