RE: [ozmidwifery] breast/bottle

[Ken Ward]

I thought that the research says b/f is less taxing. Still, we ignore a lot of research. We separate twins, although it has been proved benetificial to keep 'em together.  We comp bubs of diabetic mum's with formula, and wonder why they don't want to feed.  We support kangaroo care, but won't let the bubs out of cribs for a cuddle. I'm getting tired of it.  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2002 2:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] breast/bottle Is there any research that supports breast is more taxing than bottle for the premature newborn . the paed says only 2 b/f in 24hrs and the other [ 6] gavage or bottle .Its a fight to increase b/f in this active well fattening up boy born at 32 weeks and now 10 days old back to birth weight and rooting around for the breast .No problem with milk supply jan
