Consultant for Pediatricians May 2015, Vol. 14, # 5.  Jessica Tomaszewski Top Paper of the Month is "Does Breastfeeding Protect Aginst Early Childhood Hospitalization?  orig pub in J. Pediatr, 2015, 166(3),  Ajetunmobi,OM.    "Breastfeeding is associated with reduced childhood hospitalizations: evidence from a Scottish birth cohort,"  Dr T wrote  a review of the orig article
The original study was of about 500,000 Scottish children.  Final sentence of her article "Still, this thorough work contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the benefits of breastfeeding on child health in developed countries.  She said it was a large enough study with good tracing of confounding reasons.  BF infants got sick later in age and had shorter stays.  Formula fed babie had greater risk for GI, upper & lower respiratory, UTI and OM.  I would have liked to Wiessingerize her title :-) Orig article title was better.  But at least she hot the conclusion right :-)  Pat in SNJ
