...but I believe it is true, is it not, that babies on formula will
sleep longer? Not as safely, perhaps, as you point out, but
nevertheless longer. Here in WLA, which is +/- similar (culturally)
to Manhattan, I hear this plaintive call nearly-daily. Rather than
deny it, I discuss the biological "utility" of easily-digested bm
(not clogging up the plumbing, rapid nutrient absorption, etc). As
these moms often seem *so* focused on getting *the absolute best for
their baby*, this argument seems to go a long way. When it's more of
an exhaustion issue, we discuss sources of support -- mental and
physical.
While we're tossing around numbers (for better or worse), is there an
accepted ball park figure for BFAR? I suppose this must vary
considerably by location.
