Nancy, are you saying that the failure to thrive/grow appropriately which
prompted the switch of some babies in the Schanler study from DM to formula
was caused by a lack of protein?  I thought all groups were being fortified,
so that wasn't the problem.  Did I misunderstand?  I thought they weren't
growing because they weren't getting enough calories?  I understand the
difference between needing more calories and needing more protein, calcium
and phosphorus.  I didn't think that was the issue with these babies and if
it was, why didn't they just fortify the DM?

Marsha

"...using hindmilk does NOT increase the protein - fortifiers do.  I am
still waiting for a protein fortifier made from human milk proteins!"
