Do we ever see slow gain in bottle-fed / formula-fed babies when offered ample milk? Or is it a phenomenon related to breastfeeding? Has anyone ever studied low gain babies to see how much milk they are actually transferring? I've always wondered if it is genetic in growth rate, a function of milk intake (including limits in available milk), or a function of infant self-regulation. The latter also brings up questions of reasons babies self-regulate at low levels; an example of a pathologic situation might be discomfort with feeding experience (reflux, pain, association with painful experiences, etc) ~Lisa Marasco *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
