Terry, Cool about bf being protective factor against inguinal hernia.
Since it will be a while until my medical library here in Beer Sheva,
Israel gets the issue of J. Ped. that you cited, would you do me a favor?
Just write me (privately if you want) if this protection is in the mother
or the baby? I'm especially interested since I had an inguinal hernia and
it was not much fun (I picked up my 3-year-old, a hefty kid after 18 mo.
bf, the "wrong" way and actually felt the POP!. I really needed
that.....) Judy K. in Israel
