Hmmm, Jaye, I thought formula *did* make babies sleep longer, that is part
of the attraction, but also part of the danger.

From what I understand, formula is harder to digest, stays in the stomach
longer, plus you can always coax a baby to take "just a little more." 

This longer digestion, though, keeps a baby from naturally waking and
establishing contact with the outside world. Isn't this part of why formula
is suspected in SIDS?

Hope you get some sleep!

<<Hi all,

 

I need some quick access to easily accessible articles/research that show
that formula at night does NOT make baby sleep longer than BF.  I have a few
couples who are arguing (with the partner insisting that giving the baby ABM
will make his sleep longer.) and the mommies want/need research.  I admit -
I am swamped with clients right now and don't have time to do the research
myself - if anyone has anything handy I very much appreciate it!

 

Warmly,

Jaye
