i always thought fluid ounces where cubic measures and therefore
useless as a measurement of weight...
you need to take the specific weight of the fluid into account, for
cows milk (whole, fresh milk) it should be between 1029g/ml and
1034g/ml while human milk...
i have found one source from the 19th century and it says that human
milk should be between 1018-1045g/ml while on kellymom it says:
"Specific Gravity of Mature Human Milk = 1.031, so Density of Mature
Human Milk ~ 1.031 g/ml" which would be in the range of cows milk.
given that human milk differs a lot from cows milk, i cannot believe
this to be true...
but maybe this is not important at all....
