If WIC is doing hematocrits on a regular basis on all babies, perhaps
those of you who work for WIC should publish this data.  Maybe the
breastfed babies all have higher hematocrits.  This would be a wonderful
thing if true, and a great thing to publish.  You may already have the
data available.  You just have to make sure that "breastfeeding" is
properly defined.
