I just heard about a friend whose young-adult son broke his leg.  It made
me ponder yet again something I've wondered about:

We've never had an emergency room accident visit with our boys (now 18 and
15).  They've never broken a bone, had stitches, gotten a stick in the eye.
Are they cautious kids, or lucky, or are their breastfed reflexes
responsible in part?  I'd love to see a study of accident rates among the
breastfed and formula-fed, from falling off the couch as toddlers to
crashing cars as adults.  Any comments?

Diane Wiessinger, MS, IBCLC, LLLL  Ithaca, NY, back from a week in the
mountains w/ her 15 yr old and 2 of his friends, w/ nothing to do but sleep
in, canoe, play games, eat pizza, and finish *8* back issues of JHL.  Nice
life!  Someone please remind me why I came home.
