Hi Everyone!
As we all know, most growth charts are based on ABM fed infants.
Kathryn Dewey at UC Davis is working on a study to document
differences in growth rates for breast and bottle fed infants. I
don't know if the work has been completed yet, however, but I
understand that the results are leaning toward breastfed babies
not gaining as fast as bottle fed. We all know that, anyway!
Maybe something will come of this so uninformed providers will
stop undermining the efforts of breastfeeders!
