I don't think your system will work.  Breastfed babies are probably not
getting 150 cc/kg, but it would depend on the quantity of fat in the
milk, the frequency of feeding (more frequent, less fat), feeding one
side or two.  Furthermore, heavy water dilution studies have shown that
5 month old babies are probably getting only about 10-15% more
breastmilk than a 1 month old.  You'll have to find another system I
think.  Bottles? Not!
