I am looking for any articles which discusses the amount of time that breastmilk digests. The NICU in our hospital uses a three hour feeding schedule for all their infants (breastmilk or artificial milk). When breastmilk feed infants do not gain enough weight they tend to 'supplement with artificial milk'. I have tried to explain that breastmilk digestion is much faster then others but they (neonatoligist) want written proof (research). 

Thank You, 
Jessica Callahan RN, IBCLC
