We saw it here yesterday, when the Norwegian Pediatricians' Association
posted a link to an article ABOUT this article - and, brace yourselves,
posted it on their own Facebook page. First time I realized that Norwegian
pediatricians had a Facebook page, to which the censored version of my
reaction is 'sheesh'.  I shouldn't be surprised. I'm probably the only
person in the universe who can cope with the idea that there is life
outside of Facebook, and yes I do have a profile there myself.

The website here that put the story at the top of their own website is
called 'forskning.no'. Forskning means research, and they enjoy a sheen of
scientific professionalism, largely undeserved in my very arrogant
opinion.  The headline was five words long and read 'Early formula gives
more breastfeeding'. This is a gross dumbing down of the original title
which is "Effect of Early Limited Formula on Duration and Exclusivity of
Breastfeeding in At-Risk Infants: An RCT". I wasn't at work yesterday but I
have already secured a copy of the full article and it's waiting for me
when I get to work today. The RCT involved 40 mothers and babies, with 20
in each group.

I don't see any mention of ties to industry under 'author affiliations'.
Denise, can you be more specific about which author you mean, and what
those ties are?

inappropriate use of breastmilk substitutes in my workplace
