Fascinating research that does support the gradual increase  in volume that 
breastfed infants naturally  receive.... but even more fascinating how they 
ever got mothers to agree  to perform this research on their newborns - i 
know I wouldn't  have.



Denise offered this reference but I want everyone to note the word I  
highlighted and then remove it from the sentence.  Yes, breastfeeding is  the norm so 
all literature should be looking at what the normal  infant's capacity.  
Those poor babies who are receiving formula are getting  amounts anywhere from 
15cc to 60cc in the first day.  There really needs  documentation and education 
to both healthcare workers and parents on the normal  expectations of babies.
