Loss of energy during continuous infusions of breast milk

O G Brooke et al. Arch Dis Child. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

During 9 experiments simulating continuous intragastric infusion of human breast milk, variations in milk energy content of up to 24% occurred, the samples taken at the end of 8-12 hours' infusion being particularly energy-rich compared with earlier samples. Burettes should be regularly agitated during infusions of human milk.
