Excerpt from The Feeding of Infants: Home Guide for Modifying Milk The fundamental guides in the feeding of infants are the composition of human milk, the amount of milk secreted by the breasts of a healthy nursing woman, and the capacity of the stomach of the infant. The correct composition of human milk was discovered by Dr. Arthur V. Meigs, of Philadelphia, in 1882. His father, the late Dr. J. Forsyth Meigs, by repeated and untiring investigations, determined accurately the amount of milk secreted by the breasts of a healthy nursing woman.
