I've said it -- many times -- in lots of conferences I've done.  My private
practice is about 85% little boys -- at least as far as latch-on problems are
concerned.

Crowell, et al, (JNM, June ? 1994) also noticed that it took little boys
longer to learn how to go to the breast.

Of course, once they do, they love it for life.
