<< I was wondering about the sleep patterns of the baby.  I find in
 babies that have multiple ear infections a tendency to feed often
 during the night.  I think these babies get a major portion of their
 feeding lying flat on their backs.  >>

I know this is debated often.  Does anyone have research citations pro and
con?
My own daughter, currently still nsg at age 28 mos, nurses ALOT, day and
night, and has had only one ear infection in early infancy, no more.  My kids
are RARELY sick.
