I never  
know what to say when people say that formula-fed babies sleep through  
the night sooner (except to say that my breastfed girls slept through  
at 6 weeks or so, but that's not exactly  scientific).


Dear Friends:
    I believe that in the Ball study published in Birth  about infant sleep, 
there is a statement exactly to this effect, that  artificially fed babies do 
sleep longer at night sooner than breastfed babies. 
    The problem arises with a parent's view  of that fact.
    warmly,
