infants that are placed on strict feeding schedules, ie less than 8-10
times a day with very short feedings.  My instructor told me that FTT is
not at all linked to that kind of feeding schedule.  I looked it up in
Lawrence, and that seems to agree with my statement.  Does anyone have any
journal references that would back me up?

Um, actually THIS one I agree with Dr. Jack.  **Where are HER references**
She is wrong.  :/  What does *she* believe FTT is caused by?
Malabsorption?  Fairy's?  (okay, that was mean, but come on...)

Or was she referring to impaired MER?

school, I'd love to hear from you.

LOL! I would, but then I just decided to ditch it for Health Science
Education instead, so I can maybe teach some of the future Docs and Nurses
a little more about human lactation. ;)
