Dear all: Thanks to a few tips, I managed to track down references on adult stomach size that made more sense to me than 2 to 4 liters --- all ranging in a more reasonable 1 liter. Anyway --- back tracking through the day 1 5-7 ml intake --- I calculated that a baby given a 2 oz bottle soon after birth is given the equivalent of 18 --- yes EIGHTEEN --- of an adult drinking the standard small size water bottles (half liter) sold by street vendors in New York. A 10 day old baby given a 4 oz bottle is given the equivalent of 3 --- THREE --- wof an adult drinking the standard small water bottles. Some people can readily drink three water bottles. I can't drink one water bottle in a sitting. Best, Susan Burger *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
