Dear Friends: This news about pacifiers being protective against crib or cot death...........bypassing the importance of breastfeeding, yet again. Sigh. Research from all around the world (Rochester, New York; Finland, and Brazil) link pacifier use with increased ear infections and reduced breastfeeding duration. Double sigh.. warmly, Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE Maternal-Child Adjunct Faculty Union Institute and University Film Reviews Editor, Journal of Human Lactation www.breastfeedingalwaysbest.com *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
