"If all babies were breastfed, there would be no need for orthodontists." If only that were true. <sigh> I have 2 daughters in braces, 1 was nursed for 16 months, the other for ninteen (I think, I don't remember exactly), and my son is about to have his mouth outfitted, and he breastfed for around 2 1/2 years. I also have children that are very cavity prone. Is there something wrong with the way they breastfed? If anybody's doing any studies, I'm game.
