One thing about the research on breastfeeding is, it is clear. So is 
the research on sleep position. What do we think of moms who decide to 
formula feed when they say it's because it's "easier"? My first two 
were tummy sleepers because that's what was recommended at the time. 
The research was just coming in when I had my third, but my husband who 
is a scientist felt it was compelling and #3 was put on his back. I 
think what we need to recommend is to breastfeed, use car seats, back 
sleeping, good handwashing, no smoking, etc., etc. because that is what 
the research supports. We wouldn't dream of telling someone who had an 
excellent diet and works out regularly that it's okay to smoke, would 
we?
