A question came up in our craniofacial center, today, in regards to a cleft 
palate baby receiving 100 mls of breastmilk, daily.  He mostly receives formula 
feeds - as mom is struggling with low milk supply. This mom is under quite a bit 
of stress, and does not want to go forward with the effort of increasing her 
milk supply.
The question asked to me is "how beneficial is this amount of breastmilk?"  In 
other words, is it really worthwhile?  I've always held firm to the fact that any 
amount is good - especially for our babies who are being supplemented.  
However, does anyone know of a study or publication which addresses partial 
breastfeeds?
Thanks!
