Magda, I agree - and until we have universal standards for *exclusive
breastfeeding*
this kind of research will continued to be flawed.
>21% were exclusively breastfed for four months? this sounds like the
figure
the UK govt claim, but the definition of exclusive breastfeeding is
exclusive of other *milks*. Wanna bet this is the same and that those
babies got water and who knows what all? I am not saying they shouldn't
be
in the study, but I think we should demand good definitions.
