I have a mom who would like to know exactly why breasted children get
fewer ear infections than bottle fed children.

What if a child is getting breast milk from a bottle?  Is it the
immunolgical factors that help to prevent the infection or does it have
something to do with positioning or perhaps the power behind the suck?
Or is it a combination of several factors?

I did a thorough archive search and can find bits and pieces but cannot
get a complete answer.  Would someone out there please enlighten me.
Thanks in advance!
