Better yet -- they need to make at least three types of formulas: 90:10
whey:casein for the first three or four days; 60:40 for the next little while
-- several months, perhaps? And then 50:50 as in late lactation. Of course,
the protein needs to be alphalactalbumin rather than betalactalbumin so the
baby CAN digest it....
