Andrew, you said
<< It is interesting to note that ALL infants who suffered from kernicterus in
the U.S. for the past 8 years were ALL breastfed infants! Something is going
on here! What? >>
What is your source for this? Have you sight of this report and can you quote
exactly what it said? Was the study watertight .... Mmmmm?
To answer your << something is going on here! what? >>
If, as you say,<<ALL infants who suffered from kernicterus in
the U.S. for the past 8 years were ALL breastfed infants! >>, I wonder
whether babes' were on receiving end of breastfeeding
interventions/ignorance? Timed feeds, for example - never getting full
quota of fatty rich hindmilk? Rigid spacing of feeds? Etc, etc, One could go
on for ever.
Methinks there is much more to this than meets the eye/ear. We must not
forget that studies might report one thing but they get twisted in the
telling. Don't we all know this to be the case - a classic example being the
Fisher & Woolridge study. We also know that there is good research and unsafe
research.
kind regards
