Dear Pat,

>doris fok has the lead article in the latest sedition of breastfeeding
review on the economics of bf.... in her research she found that it
actually
takes longer to bottle fed than breastfeed.<

I would agree, if we are talking about mom only feeding or even others
feeding, but only with EBM.  Does the study take into account formula
feeding being done by other family members/sitters or propped bottles?
If mom is not involved at all with some of the feedings and if formula
feeds means less frequent feeds due to slower gastric emptying, then how
can breastfeeding and bottlefeeding take the same amount of time? (for
the mother, anyways)   Will have to see the article - every little bit of
ammunition helps.  Thanks for the tip on the publication.

Sharon K.
