I completely  agree that ALL the studies show that physiologically (heart  
rate,  respiratory pattern, apnea, bradycardia, oxygen saturation, etc.) the  
 
breastfed infant is more stable  - he is also taking in  LESS.   Physiologic 
stress 
and energy intake and output are two  different concepts, and  not 
necessarily 
related.  Yes, you can  be more stable, but also consume  less energy while 
exerting more  effort.


Dear Friends:
    It is late at night, and I am not thinking  clearly........can someone 
explain to me how a premature infant can be  both stable and exerting more 
effort to consume less energy?
    warmly,
