After reading the study on stunted growth caused by exclusive breastfeeding,
I found myself looking at my daughters who were exclusively breastfed (no
water, foods, pacifiers, bottles) for 9 months--both refused solids, both
born at home--so I know for sure they did not get anything but breastmilk.
The teen who is 17 is almost 6 foot tall and my 9 year old comes up to my
shoulders (I'm 5 foot 8 inches).  Thank god I did not formula feed them!!!
Can you imagine how tall they would have been, if I had fed them formula??

PS  With such great logic, I, too, should be able to be published in a
well-known medical journal....of course I would need a little funding :)
