>Study Backs Breast-Feeding

A new study adds weight to the belief in the importance of breast-feeding
infants. The study says breast milk protects babies from mild infections and
women who can breast feed should do so at least some of the time. The
researchers say that the more breast milk consumed, the less likely a baby
will develop ear infections or diarrhea in the first seven months of life
compared to infants fed formula. Previous studies have shown breast-feeding
is beneficial to babies in developing countries. But research results were
often contradictory in industrialized countries where overall nutrition and
health care are better. The study was conducted by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.>

Has anyone seen the actual full report?
