My other idea is perhaps baby is not eating often enough. If baby truly 
took in 2 ounces at the breast, a baby this size needs to be eating 12 
or 13 times in 24 hours. Two ounces times 8 feedings is only 16 ounces 
which would make him lose weight. 
 

Dear Friends:
    Kent et al. found that mothers make a range of 440-1200 ml of milk in 24 
hours. How can we be so precise about how much a baby should take when mothers 
are so variable, and babies only take around 76% of what is in the breast?
    warmly,
