When I was searching the archives a few weeks ago I found a post dated 23
Sept 1996. Maureen Minchin (minchin@NETLINK>COM>AU) posted a message that I
quote: >>But remember the average total 24hour intakes of thriving breastfed
babies: day 1: 37 ml; day 2: 84 ml: day 3: 26 ml; day 4: 385 ml; day 5: 540
ml; day 28 750 ml; 4 months 750 ml.<<
I have tried to email Ms. Minchin to find out if there is a reference for
these rates, but she has not responded to my posts. So, I am asking all you
LACTNETers if anyone knows where or if I can find these rates in the
literature. I appreciate your help.
TIA
