Valerie,
Thanks for posting the url for the Kramer study.

I was greatly impressed with the thoroughness, though I don't really know
beans about research terms and statistics.
While I have been trying to educate moms with my modest version of risk
differences and comparison of outcomes between FF and BrF, this study
adds even more fuel to the fire to show that the BrF benefits themselves
are dose-related!
And it does it within the context that adhering to the BFHI guidelines
does definitely make a difference in health outcomes as the end result.
I think this would be great ammunition for those of you trying so hard to
change attitudes among those who can help you make changes within your
systems.
No doubt it will become what they refer to as a landmark study!
Thanks again,
Jean
