Katherine, you said:  "The breastfed children in the Dewey et al studies,
who don't grow as well
as the charts, were, for the most part, fed on a 3-4 hour schedule, and,
for the most part, slept in a crib in a separate room from their parents
and were sleeping through the night by 3 months or so."

The study I quoted the other day was an analysis of 7 data sets from N
America and Europe -- one of the studies was a Dewey one.  It would be
interesting if all these diverse babies had the same type of feeding pattern
(frequency) -- perhaps this would indicate a huge cultural sharing in the
west.

I would be interested in the reference for the feeding frequency in the
Dewey study data set -- is it in one of the Darling study papers?
