Hooray!  It is finally happening:  data is being reported NOT as a
"benefit of breastfeeding" but as an "increased morbidity from
bottle-feeding."  I just finished reading the full text of Scariati's June
Pediatrics article, and I quote:  "When compared with exclusively
breastfed infants, infants who received formula only had an 80% increase
in their risk of developing diarrhea and a 70% increase in their risk of
developing an ear infection."
