Hmmm, Jaye, I thought formula *did* make babies sleep longer, that is part
of the attraction, but also part of the danger.

From what I understand, formula is harder to digest, stays in the stomach
longer, plus you can always coax a baby to take "just a little more."


This longer digestion, though, keeps a baby from naturally waking and
establishing contact with the outside world. Isn't this part of why formula
is suspected in SIDS?

And then, on the other hand, how many people do we know who sleep well with a stomach overlaoded with hard to digest food?

Gonneke, IBCLC, LLLL wondering in southern Netherlands, everytime again this question raises his head
