Wendy forwards info about a study:

The  study found content differences in milk samples taken from 30    women 
six to eight times a day depending on the time of day the    sample was 
taken. These differences include variations in three    nucleotides -- 
adenosine, guanosine and usine -- which excite or    relax the nervous system and 
influence sleep.

This seems like another amazing fact about breastfeeding that can get  
turned into something to make it harder for mothers who are expressing their  
milk and might just as well give artificial milks because they can't be strict 
 enough about when the baby gets mom's. Like why express milk in the AM for 
a  movie night out, when that milk might keep the baby up? Maybe they can 
choose  that formula to make the baby sleep longer due to its 
indigestibility/slow  transit... I hope this isn't the case. It should simply point to the 
wondrous  specificity and flexibility of mother and baby's feeding/nurturing 
 relationship when left alone to just breastfeed. Perhaps those  expressing 
outside the home at work or school would actually keep track and give  the 
milk pumped midmorning to the caregiver for tomorrow around the same time. I 
 just don't want to see this backfiring and leading to more mothers 
thinking it's  just not worth the effort with more restrictions to keep track of. 
Does that  sound pessimistic? I hope not, but it does seem a realistic 
possibility. Good to  know about the study so we can be prepared to deal with any 
fallout. The bottom  line is AIM never changes in taste or content, no 
matter how old the baby, no  matter what time of day. No company could ever have 
the money to make and AIM  that behaved, as any live entity does, with 
adaptability and coolness like  that...:)
