Just catching up on my mail and came across this post, which really concerns
me.  My understanding was always that babies under 2 years of age need about
50% of calories from fat to promote normal neurologic development, and that
BF helps provide this.  While I certainly agree that there is a significant
problem w/ high fat diets in older children, I don't understand the rationale
behind solving this problem by potentially creating another.  What am I
missing?
