Speaking of that...has anyone ever done a study on hospitalized
infants....which ones are or were breast fed and which ones are formula
fed....I am a pediatric nurse and we don't get a lot of babies in the
hospital that are breast fed...I don't think it is because not many moms
breastfed...I am sure it is because breast fed babies don't get sick enough
to be hospitalized as often...Anyone have any percentages or studies with
numbers...It sure would be intersting to have at hand...
