Another tidbit that might be useful for the daycare providers is that
a baby between one and six months of age does not need *increasing*
amounts of breastmilk (from Peter Hartmann's team's research), so the
mother should not need to provide ever-increasing volumes of
breastmilk to leave at daycare.

The amount the baby needs is *not* directly related to his/her
weight, as is commonly believed.

If the baby seems to be drinking more and more over time, maybe the
carers could start trying other strategies to entertain the babies
rather than just feed them what mum has left straight away.
