Perhaps they are tighter from not being ripped open from straining on hard
formula stools......

<< Jean quoted:
 "According to him [a pediatrician], breastfed babies have tighter anuses than
 their formula fed counterparts and this results in "breastfeeding colic".

 This got me to thinking....do the "tighter anus" babies just naturally select
 moms who are choosing to  breastfeed (Kathy D--how does this fit in
 anthropologically??)or is it something in the breastfeeding/milk that
 supposedly causes this natural phenomenon??? (read sarcasm here) >>
