And big enough to resist it with every fiber of their surprisingly strong 
little bodies. :-)

Thinking about the bottle-feeding and sight issue a bit more, I wonder if 
there's any hard data about that. Even if a baby has unobstructed vision 
for only one eye during feedings, I wonder if that's really enough to 
induce vision problems. With patching to force a lazy eye to work hard 
enough to improve, the patch has to be on the majority of waking hours. It 
takes *a lot* of one-sided vision deprivation to change the wiring.

Julia
