<<  but this
 unfortunately always happens in the middle of the night and the night
 demons tell her that of course she has no milk.  Now isn't it
 interesting how these babies who are marathoning on day 2 all do the
 same thing?  They have this great feeding frenzy for 3 or 4 hours
 straight and then if someone pops a bottle in their mouths, they take
 about 5 cc's and go to sleep for a few hours.  The mom is then really
 sure she has no milk >>

Oh yes, yes!!!  Exactly the scenario here -- happens over and over again.  I
explain the caseinomorphins in the formula which essentially drugs the baby
the first few times they get it, as well as the casein/whey ratio which is
WAAAY different than early milk -- especially Similac which has a casein/whey
ratio of 82:18!!!  But it is SOOOO frustrating!!

Jan in Wheaton -- this scenario just (yet again) played out this morning when
I made rounds....
