Fat loss during feeding of human milk

I Narayanan et al. Arch Dis Child. 1984 May.

Abstract

A rise in the fat concentration of human milk within the syringe was noted towards the end of continuous infusion but not with intermittent bolus gastric feeding. The rise in the former was reduced most simply and effectively by using an eccentric nozzle syringe and tilting the pump up at an angle of between 25 degrees and 40 degrees.
