I have been at a BFHI workshop this weekend here in Queensland Australia. Several participants described having read 'somewhere' about 2ml of breastmilk having the same amount of nutritional value as (they thought) about 30 mls of artificial milk. It was generally agreed that this would be great 'ammunition' when trying to reduce the numbers of breastfed babies being given other fluids in hospital. Can anyone point me to where I might find a reference for this. Thanking you in anticipation. Margaret Wendt RM IBCLC Australia P.S. It was a wonderful workshop and I was so heartened to know that there are all these fantastic motivated women out there working so hard to give mothers and babies all the right information for a great start!!!! *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
