I recall (at least I think I do) reading a report about some research which
showed that breastfed babies developed sexually later than their bottle fed
counterparts, or rather, that artificially fed babies were more prone to
precocious development.   The report went on to speculate that the lack of
exposure to appropriate hormones in artificially fed children prevented
development at the 'normal' time.  Does this ring a bell with anyone, or is it a
figment of my imagination?  I would really appreciate any pointers to research
on this topic.
