I've been reading reports in the newspapers this morning about a new study
showing that children who snore are also more likely to have ADD or ADHD.
The researchers point out that this does not mean snoring causes ADD
(Attention Deficit Disorder, adding the H means the child is also considered
hyperactive) but wonder about the connection.

I wonder if "not breastfeeding" could be the linking factor in both of
these. I know I've seen studies that breastfed babies are less likely to
snore as children, because of the better development of the mouth/jaw
structures. Are there studies on breastfeeding and ADD?
