I posted too soon again, but after visiting the site have still not come to an understanding about the difference of diet in breastfed and non-breastfed diets. Are people suggesting that combination feeding or early introduction of solids have a differential and negative effect on those children breastfed longer? Yes, please send responses to the article so I can visit the website again and read them. It's a good way for me to learn about research! As well, > I did a class this morning, and all 8 of them had heard the research. > Interestingly, it had not had much of an impact.. > I think it is hard to know, with certainty, what impact things can have. What I am pretty sure about though, comes from my dh's work on anti-racism and freedom of speech. The best way to counteract hateful or misleading or poorly-thought-out statements is to publish, publish, publish *good* stuff. I look forward to reading your comments!
