My husband is an administrator over several hospital departments which
includes the sleep lab.  He reads lots of interesting journals, but an article in
"Sleep Review" really struck him and he copied it for me:  "Prevention -- the
key to treating OSA/SDB (Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Sleep-disordered breathing).

First sentence:  "Most lactation specialists know very little about
obstructive sleep apnea, and most sleep specialists know very little about the
importance of breastfeeding."

Wonderful sentence:  "Some abnormal tongue activity is genetically linked,
but is mainly the result of bottle-feeding and excessive noxious habits such as
pacifier use, digit sucking, lip sucking, arm sucking and blanket sucking."

Haven't read the entire thing, but the article is by none other than our dear
friend, Brian Palmer, DDS!  There is an online version of the article at <A HREF="www.sleepreviewmag.com">
