So with your sample, Heidi's and mine, we've increased the database by three
sucessful teen moms and scewed their results significantly. The biggest
problem I've seen with teen moms sucessfully breastfeeding is pretty much
the same as with adults. When properly supported and not give bad
information, 15 yos can nurse just as well as 20, 30 or 35 yos. Are we
surprised by that? :-)
But thanks to whomever posted the newspaper article so that when we hear
people try to tell teens that they can't nurse, we know how pathetic this
'study' was.
