Does a change in the composition of human milk affect sucking patterns and milk intake?
Human breast milk of high and low fat content was fed to twenty-four babies aged 4-9 days from bottles. Changes in fat content parallel to those found during the course of a breast-feed (i.e., switching the baby from low-fat breast milk to high-fat breast milk) did not alter either milk intake rate or sucking patterns.
