Dee,
Do you have any references for this? Since my son's diagnosis, I've read a
lot on amblyopia and haven't come across any information on infant-feeding
method having any bearing on it.
I suspect it'd be a tough thing to study. Amblyopia's not extremely
rare---something on the order of 2-3% of the population---but there are
several causes. And, given that bottle-feeding predominates, the majority
of this 2-3% would have been bottlefed. My head aches thinking of the stats
necessary to detangle causation from correlation, but I soldier on because
I am insatiably curious. :-)
Thanks in advance!
regards,
Julia
