Ok, so here is something to think about.
This morning Ashton ate 120ml of breastmilk.
120ml = 4oz
1 ounce of water = 1 ounce of dry weight (likely dirty river water in London, but water nonetheless)
so...breastmilk must weigh more than water, but let's use water as the basis of this discussion
this morning he ate 4 oz of weight
40z = 1/4 pound of food
he weighs just over 5 lbs
4 ounces = 5% of his body weight in one meal.
i weigh approx 175 pounds
5% of my body weight it would be 8.75 pounds of food. Which i could never, in my wildest dreams eat in one meal.
The things you think about while in the hospital...

Just a few months ago you, Amie, and I each consumed a 10 pound red snapper as well as a plate of plantains and salad. I even had a glass or two of wine on top of that. So it can be done, depends on motivation.
