<< Just musing...I wonder if a good approach to clients using or considering
 using the Ezzo method would be to explain about recent research showing that
 women have different breast storage capacities.  This then focuses the
 reason for the baby's feeding demand behaviour on the mother, not the baby.
 Has anyone tried this? >>

Yes, we have.  And it doesn't cut any ice.  Many of these moms would rather
switch to formula than change the schedule.  Science, except as made up by
Ezzo (i.e. "metabolic chaos/confusion"  simply doesn't mean anything to these
moms.  They ar terrified of feeding on cue or on demand, for fear their child
will turn into a "brat" (Bucknam's term), or a shoplifter, a juvenile
delinquent, or worse (Ezzo's terms).
