Pat, do you suppose it is because baby boys tend to be slower at figuring out
the whole nursing thing, or is it by virtue of the fact that they are boys?
I honestly don't remember this -- though I do know that boys tend to have more
problems in general (more prone to tongue tie, pyloric stenosis, etc).
Wonder why???
