I read somewhere, a long time ago (or heard at a conference) that baby boys
are born at least a month behind girls wrt motor skills.  And bf is a motor
skill.  I agree w/ you Pat -- it's those little boys that get goofed up every
time.  And it is my Timothy that is the reason I'm an IBCLC.   Also in
Crowell's 1994 JNM article she noted that it took baby boys almost twice as
long as baby girls to establish effective feeds.
