I would like to read it when it does come out. I do not believe that newborns are looking for a large feeding after birth. In the first 6 hours post delivery, the newborn's organs are going through the transition to extra uterine life. They do need small amounts of nourishment to maintain their blood sugars, meet their thirst and then they want to suckle to feel better. I look forward to reading this work. ************************************************* When I find out I will let you know. Meanwhile -- why don't you try it at your facility and see what happens????
