I don't know how relevant this would be to a heart condition, but I read in
Kangaroo Care that premies who breastfed were better able to maintain their
body temp and had higher blood oxegen levels than those babies fed otherwise
(presumabley with a bottle or ng tube). In my vast inexperience I'm guessing
that these factors might also come into play for a baby needing less stress
on its heart.
