A client asked if hemoglobin tends to run higher in formula-fed toddlers.
(Actually, she asked if breastfed kids tend to run lower, but we all know
that's the wrong perspective ;-)  ).  Does anyone know?

And two unrelated insights from my 22 year old son:

When we're photographing women nursing in close-up, if they wear striped
shirts it's easier to figure out the baby's orientation.  (I'd been
commenting on how it isn't always easy to tell what's going on in
close-ups.)

A catch phrase for good positioning is "cheek to breast".  (I'd been
commenting on how many of our visuals show the mouth corner, even though it
rarely shows in a well-latched, actively nursing newborn.)
