Do we ever see slow gain in bottle-fed / formula-fed babies when offered
ample milk?  Or is it a phenomenon related to breastfeeding?  Has anyone
ever studied low gain babies to see how much milk they are actually
transferring?  I've always wondered if it is genetic in growth rate, a
function of milk intake (including limits in available milk), or a function
of infant self-regulation. The latter also brings up questions of reasons
babies self-regulate at low levels; an example of a pathologic situation
might be discomfort with feeding experience (reflux, pain, association with
painful experiences, etc)
