Querida,
We have one baby health clinic arond here that has been referring babies to
a speech pathologist if they are 6 months old and have not yet begun
solids! According to them, exclusive breastfeeding until six moths does not
allow for the normal development of the mouth and will stop them from
speaking correectly!!!
Our local area health is endevoring to do something about it but it is
amazing.
