Hello wise ones
I am trying to find research on the calorie content of breast milk in comparison to formula
I was hoping that Dr Nancy Wright Neonatologist might be reading Lactnet and make some suggestions.
The usual practice where I work, if a baby needs a supplement, the MAGIC volume starts at 30 mls.
Is the calorie content of Formula lower than Breastmilk. Is there any research around this very emotional topic. I am working very hard to try to convince staff that less volume is better, but I also need research.
Sincerely
June Nicholls
IBCLC/Midwife
