Hi Mums,
I'm a Ph.D. student at University of Glasgow, who's doing a research study in exclusive breast-feeding. During the first 6 months babies grow a lot, and their need for energy increases with growth. If they are exclusively breast-fed this increased energy need must be met through changes in the breast milk - either the mums produce more and more milk, or the milk they produce become fatter and contain more calories.
I want to find out what happens with the growth and the breast milk during exclusive breast-feeding.
I'm desparately looking for volunteers who would let me come and visit them and take measurements of growth and breast milk intake. So if you are an exclusively breast-feeding Mum of a baby of 3? months or younger (who was born at term), and you live within a 1-hour drive away from Glasgow, I would really like to hear from you. Please send me an email for more information or contact me at any of the numbers below.
Good luck with motherhood.
Best wishes
Susan

Would you like to know how much milk your baby gets from breast-feeding?
