NPR's* program Science Friday had a program on the infant microbiome and breastfeeding, formula feeding, mixed feeding, and mode of birth.  Juliet Madan and Ann Hoen spoke about their study.  Among other findings, they found that mixed fed babies had microbiomes more similar to exclusively formula fed babies than to breastfeeding babies.  The link leads to the radio program; it's about 15 minutes.  Julie Tardos
*For those of you outside the United States, National Public Radio is pretty much what it sounds like: it's a publicly supported radio station, and they have many interesting and entertaining programs like Science Friday.
