Dear Edwin
Just a quick thought in reply to your query- i don't really know the
literature related to bottle feeding but from practice a key issue seems to
be how the feed is made up ie whether instructions are followed to the
letter or adapted, in which order the powder/water are put into the bottle,
whether scoops of powder are compressed. It seems to me that there must be
many subtle variations in the content of feeds as a result of these sort of
factors.
Hope all is well with you
Best wishes
Billie
