I am working to find out where the idea that "feedings [longer than 30 min.] may lead to a net caloric loss due to excessive energy output" (Glass and Wolf 1999). The reference given in this paper is a book (Robert J. Shprintzen, Janusz Bardach, Cleft palate speech management: a multidisciplinary approach - http://books.google.it/books/about/Cleft_palate_speech_management.html?id=telpAAAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y) to which I have no access. Does anyone have it and can check what they say about the issue? the chapter is "Sidoti EJ, Shprintzen RJ. *Pediatric care and feeding of the newborn with a cleft*" If anyone has other references about this issue (some original study or similar) to help me fin out how they determined that feeding longer than 30 min. leads to caloric loss, I would be happy to know them. Thanks for your help!
