THE FEEDING OF SKIMMED BREAST-MILK

The Experimental Feeding of Dried Breast Milk

In a previous communication (1) an experimental method for drying breast milk by a modification of the Just-Hatmaker roller process was presented. It had long been felt that could human milk be preserved in some way another step forward towards the solution of the nutritional problems of infancy would be provided (2). It was found that the drying of the milk was entirely practicable and a powde...

Biomechanics of milk extraction during breast-feeding.

How do infants extract milk during breast-feeding? We have resolved a century-long scientific controversy, whether it is sucking of the milk by subatmospheric pressure or mouthing of the nipple-areola complex to induce a peristaltic-like extraction mechanism. Breast-feeding is a dynamic process, which requires coupling between periodic motions of the infant's jaws, undulation of the tongue, and...
