Suzanne M asked about references for links between BF and dental caries. There is a frequently updated selected bibliography available from Betty Crase, Director of the Center for Breastfeeding Information at LLLI. She updates the list about every 3 months, I believe. She also has an official statement from LLLI concerning same topic that lists questions to be raised when a bf baby has problems with caries to see what other factors may be going on.
