Dear Doctors Newman and Zimmer, Pharmacist J. Paul Zimmer, and others,
Recently on Lactnet you may have noticed a lot of chat regarding the
mixing of ABM and human milk fed to newborns. For many years now I have
thought that would be a great research topic and wished/hoped that some
knowledgeable person(s) would produce a video on the topic. Animation has
been used in other videos re; microbiology.
Contrasting the exclusively breastfed (WHO definition) infant's
intestinal tract's workings...
With an artificially fed infant's tract...
and the partially human milk fed infant would indeed prove
enlightening for many (me included I'm sure).
Then contrasting the level of health provided by each method of feeding.
Is anyone currently engaged in an undertaking of this sort? or
interested?
